SIMULIA Simpack is a Multibody Simulation (MBS) software for dynamic analysis of mechanical systems. Multibody Simulation allows an analyst to study the kinematic behavior of a system or to identify forces acting between two components at a much lower computational cost than a Finite Element Analysis.

Flexible Multibody Simulation is an elegant approach that combines the benefits of the traditional MBS approach with the high fidelity provided by the Finite Element method.

This document provides an overview of model reduction techniques, preparation of FE model, types of couplings, substructure generation steps, quality check of FBI files, and the best solver settings suitable for Flexible Multibody Simulation.

Target Audience: Analysts, Consultants and Tech Support.

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.

This document describes best practices for a new, state-of-the-art iterative linear equation solver in Abaqus/Standard and the 3DEXPERIENCE structural simulation apps.

The new solution capability is based on an original, unpublished proprietary algorithm developed for reliability and efficiency. A scalable parallel implementation results in a very fast, low memory consumption solver well suited for very large models.

The iterative solver is best suited to models with certain characteristics. This Best Practices document provides usage guidelines and strategies to help you best use this technology. This document is applicable to all releases from 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x and above.

Target Audience: Structural and Mechanical Analysts that develop large, computationally intensive finite element models.

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
