3DEXPERIENCE: Modeling for Engineer and Expert roles

Many of the Engineer and Expert roles use Structural Model Creation and Meshing apps to prepare models for simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The following collection of eLearning videos will introduce you to the meshing and modeling tools.

The material was created using 3DEXPERIENCE R2016x but is still valid for newer versions.


Introduction to Meshing

This video shows how to create the finite element model representation of parts.


How to create a Material definition?

This video illustrates the steps required to create a material definition for different material behavior.


How to create a Section assignment?

Section definitions contain additional dimensional or element-type information necessary for applying material properties to a deformable body. Thus section properties could refer to the thickness of a shell or the cross-sectional dimensions of a beam as well as to material definitions.

All eLearning videos were recorded by Ronit Kar-Gupta,
a SIMULIA Expert Solution Consultant and member of the SIMULIA North America Center of Excellence.
