A study is a collection of specific analysis information for your design model which can be saved with the solid model information. It includes the following:
• A unique study name
• Association with a solid model (part)
• Material information
• Load and boundary conditions information
• Mesh conditioning information
• Selected analysis type
• Selected result types
All study information is included when you save the normal design information as a package or session.
View, hide, and select studies in the Structure Browser. You can only display one study at a time.
To create a study,
1. Click FEA and then, in the Study group, click New. The Create Study dialog box opens.
2. Select an Owner in the Structure Browser, which can be a part or an assembly.
3. If you have a thermal study that you want to combine with your new mechanical study, click ThermalStudy and select an appropriate study in the Structure Browser. This option is only available if a thermal steady state analysis is present for the selected owner.
