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.
Use the Free Body Plot tool to create, edit, and display free-body section plots. Calculate the contribution of one
or more elements to the force and moment equilibrium at desired nodes.
Use the FBD Manager to create pairs of entities, <field, table>. Translational degrees of freedom and Rotational degrees
of freedom are separate fields. This tool creates a field per loadcase and free-body section.
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.
