About Simulation Types
You can create different types of simulations from different apps.
- Simulations
- Simulations model scenarios, such as static loads, thermal loads, and assembly motions. Similarly, different types of simulations contain different objects, such as materials, masses, excitations, mechanisms, and finite element representations.
- Simulation Processes
- Simulation processes model workflows and can contain simulation activities, templates, and jobs.
About Simulation Categories
A simulation contains the following predefined categories that help you classify the objects stored in the simulation:
- Model
- The Model category
stores the context in which this particular
simulation is executed. For example, the Model category stores the
simulated product and its finite element representation along with
associated materials and mechanisms. - Scenario
- The Scenario category
stores the objects that provide the
instructions for performing the simulation. For example, the Scenario
category stores restraints, loads, and probes. - Result
- The Result category
stores the results of the simulation. For
example, the Result category stores results data, reports, and
animations.
