Bi-Directional CAD Integration

Ansys Electromagnetics CAD Integrations uses Refresh or Generate to pass updates.

You make an edit in a CAD application and run Refresh on an Ansys Electromagnetics Geometry Cell.

Right-Click menu, refresh option highlighted.

Refresh pulls the current state of CAD model (geometry, parameters, materials etc) and updates the corresponding data in the Ansys Electromagnetics application.


Alternatively, you can run Generate on the UDM in the Ansys Electromagnetics window.

If you edit UDM (CAD) parameters in the Ansys Electromagnetics modeler window you can run the Send Parameters and Generate command.

Right-click menu, Send Parameters and Generate highlighted.

The command passes the edited parameters to the linked CAD application and then pulls corresponding CAD geometry.
