Browsers provide a structured view of model data, which you can use to review, modify, create, and manage
the contents of a model. In addition to visualization, browsers offer features like search, filtering, and sorting,
which enhance your ability to navigate and interact with the model data.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
An exploration is a multi-run simulation. Each exploration includes input design variables, and output responses.
Explorations may also include goals, consisting of an objective and constraints.
An input design variable is a system parameter that influences the system performance in the chosen output response.
Typical design variables may be a part's thickness, shape, or material property. Ranges, with lower and upper bounds,
are specified and the variable's value will vary within the exploration. The terms input, input design variable, and
design variable are used interchangeably.
Design variables can be linked to one another to ensure that their values remain connected throughout the exploration.
This is useful in cases of symmetry or when it is known, for example, that two parts will have the same thickness.
In addition, reducing the number of independent variables will reduce the number of runs required for the
exploration.
Constraints need to be satisfied for an optimization to be acceptable. Constraints may also be associated with a DOE.
While not used in the evaluation of the DOE, constraints can be useful while visualizing DOE results. Limits on displacement
or stress are common examples.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing
parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Use PhysicsAI to build fast predictive models from CAE data. PhysicsAI can be trained on data with any physics or
remeshing and without design variables.
Explore, organize and manage your personal data, collaborate in teams, and connect to other data sources, such as
corporate PLM systems to access CAD data or publish simulation data.

Click the satellite icon on any of the Inputs tools .
The Inputs dialog opens.
Click the Details tab.
In the Links field of a design variable, click .
For Design Variables, select the design variable you would like to link
to.
The selected design variable is added to the Expression
field.
Optional: Add expressions.
Note: If no expressions are added, the linked design variable will be set as
equal to the selected design variable.
Click OK.
Automatically Link Mirrored Parts
Click the satellite icon on any of the Inputs tools .
The Inputs dialog opens.
Click the Details tab.
Click .
In the microdialog, click
Plane.
In the modeling window, select a plane.
In the microdialog, click .
Design Explorer uses artificial intelligence to identify matching parts
on either side of the selected plane. When finished, a dialog opens containing a
list of all matching parts as mirror pairs.
Optional: Select a mirror pair to highlight the matching parts in the modeling window.
Clear the Select for Link check box of any mirror pairs
you don't want to link.
