As we are welcoming the month of September in 2022, it’s a great time to relook at the trending SIMULIA Q&A Articles for September 2022.

This list contains the most viewed SIMULIA Q&A Articles for September 2022 that have been published in Knowledge Base:

1. Working with Downward Compatible 3D XML of a Simulation Process/Template

The 3D XML file of a simulation process/template created on a particular release is not compatible with any lower release of 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This article provides some input on the downward compatibility of the 3D XML files and discusses the 3D XML file of the simulation process/template in more detail.

This article will demonstrate how to enable the downward compatibility of a 3D XML file of a simulation process/template.

2. SIMULIA CST Bio Models Extension for CST Studio Suite

CST Bio Models Library Extension is a collection of add-on human body models, phantoms, macros and materials extending the CST Bio Models Library for bio-electromagnetics, bio-medical and high-tech applications like implants, body-worn or mobile devices or medical imaging.

It needs to be downloaded and installed separately from the CST Studio Suite(R).

3. Abaqus/CAE Plug-in Utilities
A plug-in is a piece of software that installs itself into another application to extend the capabilities of that application. Abaqus plug-ins execute Abaqus Scripting Interface and Abaqus GUI Toolkit commands, and they provide a way to customize Abaqus/CAE for your particular needs or preferences.

Several plug-ins are provided on the Abaqus installation CD. The portal provides example plug-ins as well as access to a community of users that fosters the advance of the Abaqus Scripting Interface and the Abaqus GUI Toolkit. You can also write your own plug-ins.

4. Flexnet to DSLS migration and trigrams
License types:

• Counted
• Package
• Enabling:  
• Shared
• Counted and Shared

 5. SIMULIA Private Station Certificate

Dassault Systèmes has removed the 3DEXPERIENCE Launcher certificate dependency on the latest 3DEXPERIENCE Platform release levels. The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform server configuration allows for enforcing HTTP communication when launching the rich client applications from the web browser.

6. F-Solver Domain Decomposition for Antenna Arrays in CST Studio Suite
In CST Studio Suite®, the F-solver with the Domain Decomposition Method (DDM) can be used to divide the simulation domain into multiple smaller domains which are solved in parallel.

This can lead to significant reductions in the overall run time as well as the peak memory usage. Antenna arrays typically employ many identical geometries which make them even more attractive for this method.

7. SIMULIA CST License Server Installation
This article gives you detailed instructions for installing and updating the SIMULIA CST Studio Suite license server for the supported operating systems. The process for updating the license server is the same as installing the license server.

It is recommended that you install CST License Server on Windows or Linux by using the latest release of SIMULIA CST Studio Suite installation package. During the installation process, select the “License Server only” setup type.

8. Converting the PartBody and Body in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

In several Apps it is necessary to execute a feature on the PartBody which is the ‘main’ geometry container underneath the 3DShape within the Specification Tree. But quite often the needed geometry is located under a Body feature (kind of secondary body geometry container) instead of the PartBody.

Any Body can be switched to a PartBody and thus become the ‘main’ geometry by switching to a geometry-based app like Part Design, right-clicking on the Body in the specification tree, selecting the ‘Body.Object’ entry, and then selecting ‘Change Part Body’.

9. Using matplotlib with the Abaqus Python API

Beginning with Abaqus 2020, the Matplotlib module has been made available within the Abaqus/CAE installation. This article discusses the ways by which Matplotlib module can be used in the Abaqus Python API.

10. Initial Procedures for Resolving Abaqus Systems Support Issues

When troubleshooting systems-related SIMULIA established product support problems please use the following guidelines to ensure the quickest and most efficient resolution.

This article discusses the checklist that should be performed before passing the issue on to SIMULIA Support. The more information provided to the support engineer at the beginning of an investigation, the quicker he or she can resolve the problem.
