Tying the Components in an Additive Simulation

You can use build data from a DELMIA manufacturing cell to generate ties between the components in an additive manufacturing simulation. The solver ties nodes in the mesh of the simulation components to each other based on the part positions from manufacturing data.

Before you begin: You must have part positioning data from the DELMIA additive manufacturing process.

About Build Tie Creation
  1. From the Additive Manufacturing section of the action bar, click Build Tie Creation.
  2. Optional: Deactivate Create tie between body and supports/build tray to skip creating ties to the body (part).
  3. Optional: Deactivate Create tie between supports and build tray to skip creating ties between the printed supports and the build tray.
  4. Specify a Position tolerance.

    The position tolerance controls the search radius between the part position data and the nodes. If a position and node are within this distance, a tie is created.
