About Experience Content

When you run a simulation, the app produces simulation results as well as a set of experience content. Experience content can include a default set of model, scenario, and results data for native simulations (that is, for simulations created in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform). It also contains a default set of contour and symbol plots for simulations created from imported .sim file (or "orphan") results.

When you edit your FEM representation and model plots, you can generate experience content. There is no default experience content produced during the FEM representation update. You can customize this default set of experience content by selecting a specific subset of plots to include in the generated data. Experience content data is available in both FEM Representation and Simulation Results contexts.

FEM Representations

You can include or exclude predefined contents such as mesh, mesh quality, material, and available model plots.

Simulation Results

The types of data that you can include in experience content depend on how you created your simulation:

For native simulations, you can include all the data from an individual category (such as model, scenario, and results). Within each category, you can include or exclude individual items like the mesh, step details, or plots. If your simulation includes multiple analysis cases, you can include experience content for any of them. You can choose a different set of experience content data for each analysis case.
For imported results, you can include individual plots in the experience content. Model and scenario information is not available.

Special Considerations for FEM Representations

Experience content produced for native FEM Representations can be accessed only in Physics Simulation Review.

Special Considerations for Results Data

By default, only a subset of the results data in a native simulation is generated as experience content. Results plots are included for selected steps only, and within each step, a subset of the available plots is included in the experience content. You can customize the results data in the experience content by changing the set of steps from which you want to publish plots. You can include a different set of plots within each step.

Note: If you do not select any steps, no results are available in experience content.

When you specify the plots to include as experience content, you can also customize the following for each plot:

The number of modes (for frequency, mode extraction, or buckling steps)
The support decomposition type, that is, the method of selecting the subset of results data. You can decompose the results data using the display groups in the default configuration, or you can decompose the results data pertaining to individual display groups. Finally, you can decompose the results data for the whole model as a single block or by part. Whole model by part is the default support.
The animation state, the animation mode, and the number of frames.
The scale factor for the plotted variable

You can also copy any of the custom values you specify for one plot and use that value for all the other plots. For example, if you change the scale factor for the displacement plot, you can right-click the value to set the same scale factor for every other plot in the step.

You can also create or animate all of the available plots in a step by selecting the appropriate check box in the headings above the plots.

When you specify the data to generate, an updated set of experience content is generated, and your experience content preferences are included as part of the simulation. When you save your simulation, these data become available for viewing in the 3DPlay app and in the Physics Simulation Review app, both on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform or on mobile devices.
