Top 5 SIMULIA Best Practices for February 2025

As we have recently started 2025, it’s a great time to relook at the Top 5 SIMULIA Best Practices for February 2025.

This list contains the most viewed and downloaded SIMULIA Best Practices for February 2025 that have been published in Knowledge Base.

 

 

 

 

1. Discover, Explore and Generate Designs Using the Design Exploration App

Design Exploration applications (apps) help the Simulation Analyst to explore multiple alternatives across a range of operating scenarios that enables optimal design selection using powerful decision-making tools. Parametric Design Study Essentials and Parametric Design Study applications enable the Simulation Analyst to define and perform studies that explore alternative designs using parametric optimization methods.

 

The Simulation Analyst builds these studies using the applications packaged with the Structural Generative Engineer (OPZ) role on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This best practice document focuses on and illustrates the various design exploration studies available in the Design Exploration application.

 

Target Audience: Simulation Analysts.

  
  
2. Fluids Meshing in 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

Meshing a fluid domain involves discretization of the domain into discrete cells. Various meshing techniques are used to discretize a complex model with good quality mesh, which enables the solver to solve the problem without convergence issues.

 

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides a lot of capabilities that help to mesh different fluid scenario domains, for example from simple to complex. There are certain best practices that the user needs to follow when handling fluid domain meshing. This document mainly focuses on these best practices. The SIMULIA Fluid Model Creation app is mainly used for fluid domain definition and domain mesh creation.

 

Target Audience: Simulation Analyst and Fluid Simulation Engineer.

 

 

  
  
3. HPC Integration of Abaqus and 3DEXPERIENCE with SLURM

This Best Practices document covers all the prerequisites required to successfully integrate the Abaqus 2022 Established Product solvers and 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x 3DOrchestrate environment with the ‘Simple Linux Utility for Resource Manager’ (SLURM). 

 

This Best Practices document is applicable for all releases from 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x onwards.

 

Target Audience: Site IT, Software Architects, HPC Administrators, Tech Support members, Consultant and End Users.

  
  
4. SIMULIA R2024x 3DOrchestrate High Availability Installation and Configuration

This Best Practices document covers all prerequisites required for installation and configuration of 3DEXPERIENCE R2024x SIMULIA Process Composer and 3DOrchestrate Distribution server in High Availability mode. 

 

It enables the users to perform 3DEXPERIENCE R2024x SIMULIA 3DOrchestrate ‘High Availability’ deployment with Apache as reverse proxy, and load balancer.

 

Target Audience: Site IT, Software Architects, Administrators, Tech Support members, and Consultants

  
  
5. 3DEXPERIENCE Connector for CST Usage Guidelines

Connector for CST combines the power of CST Studio Suite with data management and collaborative tools of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The scope of this document is to provide the guidelines for usage of Connector for CST to the new users. This document is a good read along with the other Connector for CST training materials available in the 3DEXPERIENCE University for those who are getting started with 3DEXPERIENCE Connector for CST.

 

It also explains some of the basic options available in the connector that the user should keep in mind when importing the CAD model from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to the CST Studio Suite. Additionally, it provides information about the usage of CST adapter in the 3DEXPERIENCE Optimization Process Composer.

 

Target Audience: Electromagnetics Analyst, Electromagnetics Engineer, Method Developer
