Create, open, import, and save models.
Create and edit 2D parametric sketch geometry.
Use the Convert tool to tessellate b-spline geometry and convert to mixed or discrete geometry.
Review geometric errors in the model's surfaces and solids and fix any defects.
A point is a zero-dimensional geometric entity.
Nodes are the most basic finite element entity. A node represents a physical position on the structure being modeled.
Use the Create Points/Nodes tool to create and edit points/free nodes on geometry surfaces and lines or in space. Points and nodes can be used to establish reference locations for geometry construction and meaningful snap locations for use with other tools.
Control which nodes are on the temporary node mark.
Create evenly spaced or biased nodes by interpolating between existing nodes in space, on a surface, or on a curved or straight line.
Use the Extract Points/Nodes tool to interpolate and divide an edge or line, and find the center of an arc, fillet, or multiple curve segments.
A line represents a curve in space and is not attached to any surface or solid. A line is a one-dimensional geometric entity.
Use the Midlines tool to create midlines from existing lines, surface edges, or tube solids.
Create and edit circles and rectangles with the Shapes tool.
A surface represents the geometry associated with a physical part. A surface is a two-dimensional geometric entity that may be used in automatic mesh generation.
Solids are closed volume of surfaces that can take any shape. Solids are three-dimensional entities that can be used in automatic tetra and solid meshing.
Use the Midsurfaces tool to extract the midsurface of sheet metal stampings, molded plastic parts with ribs, and other parts that have thickness clearly smaller than width and length.
Drag surfaces, nodes, or lines along their normal direction, a vector, or another line.
Use the Ruled tools to create surfaces/solids by interpolating lines and surfaces either linearly or smoothly.
Explore the tools used to edit geometry.
Clean up problematic areas on geometry.
Work with discrete geometry like FE Geometry and floating elements.
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
Set up the simulation model, materials, domains, and boundaries.
Define radiation conditions and create emissivity models.
Define direct, derived, and constrained mesh motion.
Generate surface/volume mesh by defining mesh controls, or interactively create and edit 2D surface mesh.
Define output conditions, run the simulation, and view the results.
Use the Template Manager to define rule-based logic for groups, geometric operations, and setup and automate simulation processes.
Post-process the simulation results by creating visualizations and measurements.
AcuTrace is particle tracer that runs as a post-processor to AcuSolve.
