Create a simulation

The first time you enter the Stress Analysis Environment with a model, only a few commands are available, these are for creating a simulation and specifying global settings.

Create a simulation:

1. On the ribbon, click Stress Analysis tab Manage panel Create Simulation .
2. The Simulation Properties dialog box displays. Specify:
   • Simulation name
   • Design Objective
   • Simulation type and options, according to the type selection
     Note: In this step you also specify whether motion loads from a dynamic simulation are used.
   • Contact tolerance and Default type
   • Model representations to use (Design View, Positional Representation, and Level of Detail)
   • iAssembly or iPart member name, if applicable
3. Click OK
