About Build Tie Creation

Build tie creation constructs ties between the part, supports, and build tray based on DELMIA manufacturing position data.

Tying the Components in an Additive Simulation

The build process for an additive manufacturing part can be associated with part positioning data from a DELMIA manufacturing cell. You are creating ties between the simulation components. The position data determines the locations to search for each component being tied.

You can create ties between:

  • The part and the supports
  • The supports and the build tray
  • The parts and build tray

You can exclude also ties between the part and the supports or the supports and the build tray. The part is always tied to the build tray. A position tolerance is used to determine the pieces that are tied. The solver uses your selections and the position tolerance to tie the mesh nodes of the selected components.
