Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based
format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
Manage all of the IDs for the entities that you create, and define ID ranges for all of the entities in each Include
file in relation to the full model in order to avoid ID duplication.
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing
process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
Local coordinate systems can be used for setting up loads/boundary conditions that do not act in the global axis direction,
transforming results, defining material orientation, and many other operations.
Properties define various physical and mathematical characteristics of parts such as sheet metal, extruded, and simplified
representations of parts. The assignment and unassignment of properties have a specific set of rules based on the
solver interface being used.
Materials definitions like properties quantitatively define physical characteristics. Many definitions exist like
isotropic, anisotropic, and orthotropic and other material laws that represent steel, plastics, composites, etc. The
assignment and unassignment of materials have a specific set of rules based on the solver interface being used.
Use the Auto Contacts tool to determine contact interfaces between selections of components or elements. Based on
the user-specified options like proximity tolerance, surface creation method, main surface type, and secondary type,
the tool generates contacts based on set segments or node and element combinations.
