In 3DEXPERIENCE applications, an attribute is a characteristic of an object (or an item). For example, part attributes can include Description, Weight, and Material Category.
‘Simulation Attribute’ is a variable that describes a simulation object, such as the ‘Simulation Process’ or ‘Simulation Activity’. And, a ‘Simulation Attribute’ group refers to a set of ‘Simulation Attributes’. Simulation attribute groups allow the user to create new simulation processes, activities, templates, and documents with predefined attributes.
Both, ‘Simulation Attributes’ and ‘Simulation Attribute Groups’ are defined in the ‘Simulation Process Administration’ widget. Using the ‘Simulation Attributes’, an organization can flexibly characterize the information in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform suited for end use.
This document presents a use case of a Tire manufacturer using ‘Simulation Attributes’ to characterize the ‘Simulation Processes’ created in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform based on the ‘Tire Serial Number’. The Tire Serial Number encodes important information about the tire such as the service description, rim diameter, load index, and so on.
Characterizing the 3DEXPERIENCE platform objects using the ‘Tire Serial Number’ helps the end user capture key performance indicators for all tires designed by the manufacturer and identify designs based on the key performance indicators using 3DSearch.
Target audience: Methods developers, and users creating, running and reviewing Simulation Processes.
