Adding Systems to the Project Schematic

In the Project tab, you take systems from the Toolbox and add them to the Project Schematic. Projects can vary in complexity, from a single system representing all the necessary steps for a desired analysis, to a complex set of connected (linked) systems representing coupled analyses or variations in modeling approaches.


Note:  We recommend that a project contain only systems that are relevant to a specific analysis or coupled analysis with a well-defined focus. Adding systems for multiple unrelated analyses to the same project can have an adverse effect on performance and cause corruption with portions of the project.


Most analysis systems are defined by three primary attributes: physics type, analysis type, and solver type. Workbench uses these attributes to determine valid data transfer and system replacement possibilities. For more information on the types of systems, see Working Through a System.
