Tip: Model files for examples referenced within this section are located in the
Models
subfolder of the Simulation Mechanical installation folder. We recommend that you copy the contents of this directory to a user folder elsewhere on your hard drive. For archive files (.ach), use 
Archives Retrieve to open them, and then select a restore location where you can create and save files.

The orientations and corresponding axes (front view, X and Z axes, and so on) described in these examples are based on the Options View Options being set to the Autodesk Simulation pre-defined template.
The results indicated are based on the version originally used to create the example. Current software versions may provide slightly different answers.
