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.
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.
Use the Contour tool to visualize result data by coloring entities by value, allowing for easy identification of maximums
and minimums throughout the model. Contour plots can be created using any scalar data, including components or invariants
of vector or tensor results (for example: vonMises stress, displacement magnitude).
Use the Vector tool to draw arrows such that the direction in which the arrow points is the direction of the vector
and the length of the arrow is its magnitude. Individual vector components, shear, and complete resultants can be
plotted for vector-based results (for example: X, Y, Z, Resultant).
Use the Deformed tool to specify parameters for deformation display. This displays the original structure and the
deformed shape to see the total amount of movement, or view the deformed shape by itself.
Use the Marker tool to visualize result data by adding text on entities by ID and value, allowing for easy reference
of result values on selected entities. Marker plots can be created using any scalar data, including components or
invariants of vector or tensor results (for example: vonMises stress, displacement magnitude).
Use the Legend entity to create, edit and assign custom legends to any contour, vector and tensor or marker plot.
Legends can be numeric, or category based. It can be copied or saved to an external file and imported for re-use.
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.

From the Post ribbon, click the Marker tool.
Select a marker plot using the drop-down menu on the guide bar.
Optional: Click the Create Marker satellite icon to define a new
marker plot.
Optional: To review and edit the current plot definition, click on
the guide bar.
Select elements or nodes to apply the plot.
By default, the plot is applied to the selected entities.
Click Plot to display the markers.
Click one of the following:
- Save changes and exit the tool
- Clear the plot
-
Exit the tool without saving changes
Optional: To turn on/off entity ID and multi-line text, select the entity in the browser
and edit the definition.
Optional: To edit numeric format and precision, right-click on the marker legend to
select from the context menu or select it from the
entity definition.
Optional: To change the color of the marker, edit it from the marker legend or entity
definition.
Tip:
Plots are based on the current load case and step, which can be reviewed and
updated from the status bar or the browser.
Existing plots can also be displayed or cleared using the plot icons in the
Results Browser.
Editing the definition for a displayed plot will automatically update the
graphics. For large models, editing the plot definition may be faster if the
plot is not displayed.
All values displayed are the same as the Contour plot.
