The SIMULIA Samples workspace contains applications connectors and experiences that allow you to interface Process Composer with other SIMULIA applications. You cannot edit or delete content in the SIMULIA Samples workspace; however, steps in your simulation activities can refer to the application connectors and you can instantiate the experiences.
- Application connectors
SIMULIA provides the following connectors with a standard installation of Process Composer:
- Abaqus/CAE: Run a specified version of Abaqus/CAE.
- Abaqus/Explicit: Run a specified version of Abaqus/Explicit.
- Abaqus/Standard: Run a specified version of Abaqus/Standard.
- Abaqus/Viewer: Run a specified version of Abaqus/Viewer.
- OdbToCgr: The OdbToCgr connector reads an Abaqus output database and generates
a three-dimensional image of the analyzed model in a CATIA Graphical Representation (.cgr) file that can be displayed and manipulated
by 3DLive.
- VPMSimulation: Execute a simulation from the VPM database.
- Experiences
Abaqus/CAE provides the following simulation experience with a standard installation of Process Composer:
OdbToCgrActivity: If you are running an Abaqus analysis without using the Abaqus application
connectors or if you are running an Abaqus analysis on a
non-Windows platform, you can use the OdbToCgr simulation activity
to generate a .cgr image of the Abaqus
model. The OdbToCgr simulation activity reads an existing Abaqus
output database and creates a .cgr file containing an image
of the analyzed model.
The OdbToCgrActivity experience creates a simulation activity. Therefore, you can instantiate the experience only when you are creating a new simulation activity within a simulation process.
