Structural Scenario Creation is a native app
that lets you create and manage:
- Procedures (such as static stress, frequency, and heat transfer) that
configure the analysis type, sequence of steps, and time scale.
- Initial conditions (such as temperature and velocity) that set the values of
certain variables at the start of the simulation.
- Interactions that define the response of contacting model regions.
- Restraints (such as clamps, hinges, and ball joints) that fix translational
or rotational degrees of freedom of portions of the model.
- Loads (such as pressure and forces) that represent concentrated or
distributed tractions applied to a model by an external source.
- Thermal conditions (such as temperature, heat flux, and ambient radiation) that can induce
stress or change the model properties.
- Durability conditions (such as fatigue loading and surface finish), which are available
only when you have the appropriate role.
- Output requests that generate simulation results data.

Before you begin using Structural Scenario Creation, you must define the simulation model. You create the simulation model, which
includes material assignments, material properties, sections, and connections, using
Structural Model Creation. For more information about materials, see the Simulation Materials guide.
When you run the simulation, you must choose a licensing configuration that determines what
resources are used. For more information about licensing, see the Simulation Licensing guide.
After you run your simulation, you can use Physics Results Explorer to generate plots and reports to view and share your results and to make
decisions about the model's design.
