You use External Simulation Representations to store simulation data that were generated outside the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. For example, you can save a finite element mesh generated by a third-party product in an External Simulation Representation. All of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform concepts (such as lock, copy, and version) apply to External Simulation Representations. Model Assembly Design imports non-3DEXPERIENCE platform files from an External Simulation Representation and exports non-3DEXPERIENCE platform files to an External Simulation Representation. Use the External Modeling section of the Model Assembly Design action bar to create and manage External Simulation Representations. | ||||||
