Line creates a surface and pulling a surface creates a solid. When converting a sketch to 3D, pulling a Use the Pull tool to offset, extrude, revolve, sweep,ĭraft, and blend faces or to round, chamfer, or extrude edges.

When you pull a sketch into 3D with the Pull Tool used to distort or deform geometry. Line A straight line, arc, or spline drawn in Sketch mode or on a layout plane. The following data is transferred to ANSYS: Only visible objects are sent to ANSYS hidden objects are not sent. You can also send data from a document that is open in Discovery SpaceClaim or from a saved Discovery SpaceClaim document. You can transfer the active model to ANSYS, even if it has not been saved. You can view the following video that demonstrates the process:ĭiscovery SpaceClaim ANSYS integration demonstration Data you can send to ANSYS Return the validated design options or recommended changes to the designer when testing is complete. Modify and send data between Discovery SpaceClaim and ANSYS, and rerun the tests as often as necessary. To start a new design, click New Discovery SpaceClaim Geometry in ANSYS to launch Discovery SpaceClaim with an empty design. These files are actually zip archives with a special structure, the contents of which are primarily XML data., then use Edit Geometry to launch Discovery SpaceClaim with that document loaded. Files comply with the Microsoft Open Packaging Convention, which is also used by Microsoft Office 2007. To work with an existing design, click Import Geometry in ANSYS and choose an existing SCDOC file File format for SpaceClaim files (.scdoc). Simplify and modify the model for analysis.ĭefine parameters and named selections that you can use in ANSYS.ĪNSYS 11.0, 12.0, and 12.1: Launch ANSYS from Discovery SpaceClaim, and then set up analysis conditions and constraints using the powerful simulation tools in ANSYS.ĪNSYS 13.0: Start ANSYS Workbench and create a geometry cell: Import a CAD model into Discovery SpaceClaim. Driving parameters can be edited within ANSYS to run sets of iterative analyses. The geometry is sent into ANSYS along with any driving parameters or analysis specific attributes (spot welds, midsurfaces thicknesses, etc) that you have defined.

With this add-in, you can send a model that was imported or created in Discovery SpaceClaim to ANSYS Workbench, ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS DesignModeler, or any other integrated ANSYS products. You are here: Discovery SpaceClaim add-ins > ANSYS add-inĭiscovery SpaceClaim and ANSYS provide a combined solution that you can use to simplify CAD models for analysis.
