Tips & Tricks

How to filter entities in the Explorer?

You can filter entities based on Name and ID and also list the referred entities

How to create your own toolbars in Visual-Environment?

You can create your own toolbars using Tools->Customize

How to change user home location in Visual-Environment?

You can change the Home and Temporary directory path from General Preference or from the Variables

How to make an advanced selection in Visual-Environment?

Advanced Selection allows you to select entities in different ways such as column wise, sheet wise, etc. It also allows you to stop the selection at non manifold T-Sections based on feature angle.

Internal injection lines modeling

Internal injection lines on a shell model (i.e. made of internal element edges) are not supported by the parallel solver.

Direct Opening of a mesh

The creation of a RTM project and loading of the model mesh is usually done in 2 steps.

Coupling between PAM-FORM and PAM-RTM: multiple part mapping

Coupling between PAM-FORM 2G and PAM-RTM is done through a .DSY file. Thus, pre-forming process is simulated with PAM-FORM 2G and resulting fiber orientations that will affect permeabilities are transferred to PAM-RTM model setup.

Model clipping feature in CFD-VisCART and CFD-GEOM

For better visualization of the geometry and mesh, a model clipping feature was introduced in CFD-VisCART and CFD-GEOM V2013.0. The following sections illustrate the usage and benefits of this feature.

Improve Productivity Using Scripts [Video Format]

As simulations become more integrated with the design process, engineers often spend time on repeated operations that do not contribute to their productivity. There is a need for tools that could capture, preserve and transfer the knowledge within the organization or to its customers.

Boundary layer meshing with CFD-ACE+ [video format]

The accuracy of a CFD solution is strongly dependent on how well the mesh resolves geometry and flow features. This is especially true for near wall regions (boundary layer) where viscous forces are not negligible compared to inertial forces.
