Functional Differences Between Simulation Stages

There are a few differences in capability and behavior between Discovery's Explore and Refine stages. These differences are explored in this section.

This section contains the following topics:

Structural Physics
Fluid Flow Physics
Solid Thermal Physics
Physics Combinations and Calculation Types
Fidelity Control
Optimization Functionality
Monitoring Functionality
Results Display

Note: Electromagnetics conditions are available in the Refine stage only, and do not require any additional license. Structural, thermal and fluid simulation in the Refine stage require an additional license.
