Modifying a Physics Simulation Abstraction in a Scenario Authoring App

While you are developing and testing an experiment, you can use the context toolbar to open any physics simulation abstraction in the authoring app that was used to create it.

This feature lets you quickly open a published physics simulation in Structural Scenario Creation, Mechanical Scenario Creation, or Fluid Scenario Creation. You can then modify the simulation and republish as the same abstraction or as a new abstraction.

Before you begin: The 3DEXPERIENCE native simulation client apps must already be installed on your Windows computer.

Introductory Concepts
  1. Select the component in the experiment diagram.
  2. Choose Open Abstraction from the context toolbar.
    The original simulation is opened in the physics app in the 3DEXPERIENCE native desktop client.
  3. Edit the physics simulation as desired; for example, to add a new port.
  4. From the Interactions section of the action bar, click Publish to Multiscale Component.
  5. In the Abstraction option of the dialog box, select Create new or select the existing abstraction name to republish it.

    Click OK.

  6. Save the newly republished abstraction by selecting Save from the Share menu in the top bar.
  7. Move back to the Multiscale Experiment Creation app in 3DDashboard.
  8. Select Refresh from the Dashboard Menu.
