These objects upstream data by linking Ansys Workbench systems with Mechanical analysis systems. You can import results from one analysis and apply them in downstream (target) systems.
| Imported Plies | |
|---|---|
| These objects provide access to an external system's data. | |
| Object | Description |
| Imported Plies | Provides ply/layer data that has been made available from an external upstream system, such as Ansys Composite PrepPost. |
| Geometry | |
|---|---|
| These objects provide access to an external system or previous analysis' data. | |
| Object | Description |
| Imported Element Orientation (External Data) | Maps coordinate system data points from an External Data system onto the elements of your model in order to specify the coordinate systems of selected elements. |
| Imported Thickness (Group) | Includes shell thicknesses that you have imported from an earlier analysis and want to apply in the present analysis. |
| Imported Thickness | Imports shell thickness data generated in a previous analysis for application in a current analysis. |
| Imported: Shell Thicknesses | Provides access to an external system’s data that includes shell thicknesses. |
| Condensed Geometry | |
|---|---|
| These objects define imported superelements. | |
| Object | Description |
| Imported Condensed Part | Defines a single imported superelement with the overall inertial and flexibility behavior summarized on a reduced set of degrees of freedom. |
| Load and Boundary Conditions | |
|---|---|
| These objects contain loads and conditions to use for an analysis. | |
| Object | Description |
| Imported Load (Group) | Contains loads that you want to apply in the current analysis. |
| Imported Remote Loads | Includes the Force and Moment boundary conditions provided by a Maxwell analysis. |
| Materials | |
|---|---|
| These objects import material data and model printed circuit boards. | |
| Object | Description |
| Imported Material Fields (Group) | Contains all of the Imported Material Field objects used to import the initial user-defined field variable values from External Data and map to the mesh. |
| Imported Material Field | Imports the initial user-defined field variable values from External Data and map to the mesh. |
| Imported Trace (Group) | Includes the metal traces that you have imported from a Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) 3D Layout design to model the effects of metal traces in PCBs. |
| Imported Trace | Models Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) in a fast and efficient manner which would otherwise require an inordinate amount of time to process the geometry and mesh, due to the complexities in such models. |
