User-Defined Model (UDM)
A User-Defined Model (UDM) is collection of externally defined parts imported into an Ansys EM 3D Modeler or created using a C or Python script.
- A UDM includes part attributes (like name, color etc) and material assignment.
- A UDM can also have external coordinate systems and corresponding planes.
- A UDM parts can be parameterized and manipulated in Ansys EM modeler just like any other part.
A UDM can either represent static geometry models or dynamic links to models of external geometry editors. It is used for supporting CAD integration in WorkBench and the Ansys Electronics Desktop CAD Link functionality.
A UDM uses same plugin technology as a User-Defined Part (UDP).
