9.1.1. Simulation Functionality

Simulation has functionalities which are related to simulation as shown in the table below.

Figure 9.1: Main functionalities in Simulation

FunctionalityDescription
Simulation Use to define the simulation parameters, generate the simulation input files and run the Motion Solver and Postprocessor.
CaseUse to define a simulation case. This feature is very useful when one model requires analysis in various cases.
RequestUse to define a structural request or kinematic request. A Faceset and Marker can be used to define the action or base entities for the requests.
DOE Use to define a design variable, performance index and method for the design of an experiment. A design study is possible through the batch simulation.
Contact Tolerance Use to define an Offset of Faceset as a design variable. Design variables are used as the performance index for the design of an experiment.
