The model representation used for performing a
computer-aided engineering analysis, consisting
of the system representation and various
environment action representations.
Nodes and Elements
The nodes and elements that can be created
are OCTREE (GPS) type.
Properties
Any specification applied to define the
physical properties (geometry) of the
model:
Nonlinear and Thermal Properties
Any nonlinear or thermal specifications
applied to define the physical properties
(geometry) of the model:
Nonlinear Structural or Thermal
Case
A procedure for the computation of the
system response to applied loads under given
restraints.
Element Assignment
The elements assigned to each mesh
part.
Simulation History
The sequence of analysis steps that
define the environmental actions on the
system.
Initialization
A special Initialization step is
created at the beginning of the
Simulation History.
Connections
Enhancements to
connections.
Fields
Initial temperature
fields.
General Static Step or Frequency
Step
Field Output Requests
Generates field output that is
saved to the output database
file, typically for large regions
or for the entire model.
History Output
Requests
Generates history output that
is saved to the output database
file, typically more often than
field output or for a smaller
region of interest.
Loads
Generates distributed force
systems equivalent to given
static resultants or force
densities of given intensity.
Boundary Conditions
Generates mechanical degree of
freedom restraints on a geometry
selection.
Fields
Generates initial temperature
or temperature history
fields.
Jobs
Analysis job definitions.
Display Groups
Analysis display group
definitions.
Analysis Case Solution
Results data image requests.
Solution Sensors
Local or global sensors added to
record or parameterize field or history
output results, respectively, within a
step.
