Defining Simulate Model Geometry

The document discusses defining model geometry in Simulate, including creating points, datum curves, planes, and coordinate systems. It also covers using surface and volume regions to subdivide existing geometry for applying loads, constraints, or refining the mesh. Key tools are provided for creating these geometric elements, and surface and volume regions allow precisely placing loads or enforcing local meshing.

Concept: Defining Simulate Model Geometry


Defining Simulate Model Geometry
Simulate enables you to create datums and model geometry that only appear in the model tree when
Simulate is used. Most important are user-defined Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems,
and surface or volume regions. The subdivision of surfaces into surface regions or volumes into volume
regions are effective tools to create references for loads and constraints, or a refined mesh. They are also
useful as references for measures, shells, and rigid or weighted links.

The following datums and model geometry can be created:

• Points – Create points as in Creo Parametric. They can be moved into the Creo Parametric model tree,
if not dependent from other simulation datums.

• Datum curves or planes – Create datum curves and planes. Curves, spline or sketched, can be taken
into account by AutoGEM.

• Coordinate systems – Coordinate Systems in Simulate differ from Creo Parametric. Not only Cartesian
but also Cylindrical and Spherical are allowed. These can be referenced for loads, constraints,
functions, measures, material orientations, and in the postprocessor. When defining measures, loads,
and so forth, by default they refer to the active coordinate system.

• Surface regions – These are used to subdivide existing surfaces, also surfaces within the volume from
volume regions, so that loads or constraints can be precisely placed or a special local mesh can be
enforced.

• Volume regions – These subdivide part volumes and create surfaces that can be referenced. Volume
regions can have different materials and all their boundaries are taken into account by AutoGEM.

Use the Mesh Surface command to check the defined regions. This creates a set of grid lines on the selected
surfaces.

The sketch of a surface region must not necessarily lie on the surface to be subdivided; it can also be
projected on the surface. Use volume or surface regions to create loads or constraints on partial areas
of a cylindrical surface. Otherwise, the whole circumference area is selected by default.
