To share models with other users, the model must be checked in to the team server. You can check in a model so that it no longer resides on your computer or just keep an extra copy on the server. Other users can check out any model that has been checked into the server, if they are given permission. For more information on how team file organization works, check out the help file user guides. Clicking Find will bring up a list of all files within a project, no matter where they are located at on the hard drive.
Application determines the software to run.
Simulation brings up FEA analyses while Design is the CAD interface. You can switch between modules in I-DEAS at any time. The application changes the selection of tasks to pick. Tasks are separate groups of functions. For example, the Master Modeler task contains all the commands used to create CAD models.
