Defining a FEM Analysis
Click New on the Analyses dialog box to open the Analysis Definition dialog box. This dialog box lets you specify the analysis type as well as the load and constraint sets that will be active for the analysis.

If you want to define a modal analysis, see Defining a Modal FEM Analysis.

The Analysis Definition dialog box for FEM analyses includes the following items:
• Type—Specify the type of analysis you want to run, Structural or Modal in structure mode. In the case of thermal mode you can only create a Thermal analysis.
• Description—Optionally, type a description of the analysis.
• Constraint Sets or Boundary Condition Sets—Use this area to add and remove constraint or boundary condition sets you have defined for your model. Creo Simulate lists all sets you have added on a table in this area. This area includes the following buttons:
◦ Add—Add a constraint set to the table. When you click this button, Creo Simulate displays a list of all constraint sets in the model. You can select one or more constraint sets to add.
◦ Remove—Remove a highlighted constraint set from the table.
• Load Sets—Use this area to add and remove load sets defined for your model. Creo Simulate lists all load sets you have added on a table in this area. This area includes the following buttons:
◦ Add—Add a load set to the table.
◦ Remove—Remove a highlighted load set from the table.
