Model Assembly Design

Model Assembly Design lets you configure a simulation for execution outside the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using data that are stored in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, such as a file describing a finite element mesh.

Model Assembly Design serves as a bridge between 3DEXPERIENCE platform apps and data that are external to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Model Assembly Design is a native app that provides the ability to:

  • Insert External Simulation Representations into a product structure.
  • Move data in and out of an External Simulation Representation.
  • Analyze the impact of modifying data.
  • Control concurrent design changes of the external simulation.
  • Apply lifecycle management to the files in an external simulation.
  • Delete and duplicte assemblies of finite element models (FEMs).
  • Automate FEM and mesh creation for the parts in an assembly.
  • Generate and review FEM reports indicating the content and quality of the meshes.
  • Manage a structure of FEMs: for example, to add or remove nodes or to insert existing models.
  • Create abstraction shapes to modify geometry when you do not want to change the original parts.
  • Publish elements of the FEM to support creation and replacement by alternaitve designs
