Automation: Design of Experiments for a Loaded Cantilever Beam

This example guides you through creating and performing Design of Experiments simulations on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

You will learn how to:

  • Create the geometry of a part and define parameters that control the dimensions of the part.
  • Create a structural physics simulation that loads the part, and define parameters that extract the mass and the maximum displacement and stress from the results.
  • Create a Design of Experiments (DOE) simulation that explores changes in the geometry of the part and the resulting change in behavior.
  • Review the results of the design exploration.
  • Define objectives and search for the best design.

Collaboration: Dashboard Creation and Use in an Engineering Workflow

This example guides you and your team through an engineering workflow using 3DDashboards to organize, enact, validate, and approve a design change on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

You will learn how to:

  • Create a central team dashboard to provide information to an engineering team and to link to other dashboards that are relevant to each team member's everyday tasks.
  • Create and share dashboards for different members of an engineering team to use in their everyday tasks.
  • Access helpful dashboard templates and information from a central starting point.
  • Stay updated on community information, projects, and tasks using dashboards.

Electromagnetics: Antenna Coverage Analysis for an Aircraft

This example guides you through creating and performing an antenna placement simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

You will learn how to:

  • Create a simulation that models the far-field directivity of an installed antenna.
  • Select a platform and antenna to add to your simulation using 3DSearch.
  • Define placement candidates using axis systems.
  • Configure the master simulation project in CST Studio Suite.
  • Request data output for pertinent variables.
  • Generate obscuration plots to determine the viability of placement candidates before running a simulation.
  • Review and compare placement candidates based on their simulation results.

Material Calibration: Elastic and Plastic Material Calibration of Aluminum

This example guides you through the calibration of elastic and plastic material behaviors using test data and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

You will learn how to:

  • Load material testing data sets.
  • Define the material model that you want to calibrate.
  • Plot the test data and the response curve, and adjust their display so it is easier to distinguish between them.
  • Select material parameters to calibrate.
  • Run a calibration, and assess how closely the calibration curve matches the test data points.
  • Export the material parameters to a material definition in the database for use in simulations on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
