Create a Simulation Study

To create a simulation you must switch to the Stress Analysis Environment, then you can begin to define the simulation.

  1. On the ribbon, click Environments tab Begin panel Stress Analysis .

    This action takes you into the stress analysis environment.

  2. Click on the Create Simulation command. The Create New Simulation dialog box displays.
  3. For the Simulation Name, specify Mode Shapes.
  4. Leave the Design Objective set to Single Point.
  5. For Simulation Type, select Modal Analysis.
  6. Enter 10 for the number of modes.
  7. Check the Enhanced Accuracy option. The remaining parameters use default settings.
  8. On the Model State tab, for Level of Detail, select Stress LOD. Note that it may already be active.
  9. Click OK. A new Simulation Study is created and populates the browser with simulation-related folders.
