Running Simulation Studies—Creo Ansys Simulation
Simulation Studies
To run a simulation study perform the following steps:
1. Define the minimum required simulation objects as follows:
◦ For a static structural simulation study—Define the following minimum requirements :
▪ Loads
▪ Constraints
▪ Material Assignment
◦ For a transient structural simulation study—Define the following minimum requirements :
▪ Material Assignment
▪ Constraints
▪ Loads—Define as a function of time.
◦ For a modal simulation study—Define the following minimum requirements :
▪ Constraints
▪ Material Assignment
◦ For a random vibration analysis—Define the following minimum requirements:
▪ First define a modal analysis and enable random vibration.
▪ Define at least one fixed constraint.
▪ Define one or more PSD load for one or more constraint.
◦ For a thermal simulation study—Define the following minimum requirements :
▪ Boundary Conditions
▪ Thermal Loads
▪ Material Assignment
2. To run a combined study, if your active study is a structural study, click > and select the Include Thermal check box.
Define thermal loads and boundary conditions. The design study is now a combined study and contains both structural and thermal simulation entities.
Similarly to run a combined study if your active study is a thermal study, click > and select the Include Structural check box.
Define structural loads and boundary conditions. The design study is now a combined study and contains both structural and thermal simulation entities.
3. Define any other optional simulation objects such as connections, idealizations, surface regions.
4. Define results and probes to understand how specific result quantities are shown in specific locations in your model.
