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.
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.
Place constraints or enforced displacements on a model. This is accomplished by
assigning a degree of freedom (DOF) constraint to the node or set.
Constraints are load config 3 and are displayed with a triangle that connects to the
node, with the dof numbers that apply to the node beside the triangle.
Note: In the Radioss, Abaqus, and LS-DYNA profiles,
load entities are created immediately upon entering the tool. Use the Entity Editor to modify any properties. In all other solver
profiles, load entities aren't created until you make your selections then click
Create.
From the Analyze ribbon, click the Constraints
tool.
Note: Depending on the solver interface, the Constraints
tool may be part of a ribbon group menu along with other tools, such as MPCs
or Equations. Click the arrow besides the icon to view the tool if it is not
currently active.
Select the keyword to create from the Load Type menu.
The available types depend on the current solver interface.
Choose the entities to which the constraints will be applied.
Select whether the constraint should be a constant value or use curve-based
values. If curve, choose the desired curve and change the value to alter the
curve’s X scale (for example, time).
Select the degree of freedom that you wish to constrain, then enter a value for
the constraint.
