1.4.7.2. Creating a Mixed Assembly

To create a mixed assembly:

  1. From the Analysis Systems panel, drag and drop an ACP (Pre) Analysis system into the project schematic.

  2. Drag and drop a supported Mechanical system into the Project Schematic and create a link from the ACP (Pre) Setup cell to the Mechanical Model cell.

  3. Add other ACP (Pre) systems as needed.

  4. Drag and drop a Mechanical Model component into the Project Schematic for the non-layered parts. Create a transfer link from the Model cell of the upstream system to the Model cell of any downstream systems.

  5. Double-click the downstream Model cell to edit the model. For every upstream mesh, a Geometry, Imported Plies, and Named Selections folder are inserted in the Tree View of Mechanical.

  6. Perform all the steps to fully define and solve the Mechanical Analysis system.
