Run the Simulation and Analyze the Results

Execute a simulation on an assembly with the updated design. You will use an existing simulation scenario modeling a stationary shaft with a large force on the updated sprocket.

  1. Access the Analyze tab of your workflow dashboard.
  2. From 3DSpace, select Elevator_Drive_Scenario.
  3. With Elevator_Drive_Scenario selected, access Structural Scenario Creation from the Compass.

    The Elevator_Drive_Scenario simulation opens with the updated gear.

  4. Perform a global update to update the mesh.
  5. Run Model and Scenario Checks.
  6. Run the simulation with default settings.
    A simulation status window appears where you can view errors, warnings, information, licensing messages and plots.
  7. From Physics Results Explorer, check the maximum displacement and maximum Von Mises stress in the simulation.
    The maximum values satisfy the requirements, so the team can move forward with the design.
  8. Generate a Report with default settings from the Setup tab of the action bar.
    A Microsoft Word document containing the simulation results is saved on your machine.
