Modify your model

Use the Simplify commands to:

• simplify the model
• create simulation model variants

For a practical example of using the Simplify tools, refer to the Thermal Stress tutorial.

• From the Setup tab, select Simplify to access the Simplify tools.
• From the Simplify Solid or Simplify Surface tab, select Create > New Simulation Model .
  • This creates another simulation model based on the production geometry as the starting point.
• Right-click a Simulation Model x heading and select Clone Simulation Model from the context menu. This action creates a new simulation model based on the current one as the starting point.
• Right-click a Simulation Model x heading and select Delete Simulation Model from the context menu to delete it. Note that you cannot delete the only remaining simulation model.
• From the Simplify Solid or Simplify Surface tab, select Finish Simplify to return to the Simulation workspace.

The Simplify tools in the Simulation workspace are similar to modeling ones in the Design workspace. For help using these commands see:
