By importing geometry from other modeling systems. By importing a finite element mesh from other modeling systems. Parts are then assembled together to create the analysis model. Pump assembly consisting of multiple part instances.
Parts can consist of a combination of solids, surfaces, and curves.
The Part Manager shows a list of all the parts in the model and allows them to be copied, renamed, and deleted. Parts can also be queried to list their volumes and section properties and to measure the distance between points on the part. The geometry for a part can be imported from another modeling package. Therefore, geometry can be transferred from other ACIS-based packages with no loss of accuracy. Two-dimensional geometry can be imported in SAT, IGES or DXF format.
