Creating Analysis Library Features
To create analysis library features, you first create a study in which
you define the analysis features that you want to include in the analysis
library. You can create analysis libraries from part (with multi-bodies)
and assembly documents. The analysis libraries have the *.sldalprt or
*.sldalasm extensions.
To create an analysis library feature:
Open a part or an assembly document.
Click File,
Save As.
In the Save As
dialog box, set Save as type to
Analysis Lib Part (*.sldalprt)
if the active document is a part document or Analysis
Lib Assembly (*.sldalasm) if the active document is an assembly
document.
Click Save.
The program saves the document and adds the
appropriate extension.
Create a study.
You can create analysis library
features using static, frequency, buckling, thermal, and nonlinear studies.
Click the Simulation study tab.
Two new folders appear in the Simulation
study tree: Library References
and Library Values. Values under
these folders will be populated based on the item you add to the library.
Define the loads, fixtures, and connections that
you want to add to the analysis library.
In the Simulation study tree, right-click the
item that you want to add to the library, for example, Fixed-1
and select Add to Library Feature.
The Fixed-1
icon changes from 
to 
indicating that this
item has been added to the library. You can continue adding features to
the library as needed.
Click File,
Save.
To add a single library feature to the analysis library:
In the Simulation study tree, define the load,
fixture, or connection that you want to add to the analysis library.
Right-click the item you want to add, for example,
Force-1, and select Add
to Library 
. You can also drag the item to the analysis
library.
In the Add to
Library PropertyManager under Save
To, browse to the desired folder in the analysis library.
Click 
.
The feature is saved in the selected folder in the analysis library
with the extension .sldsimfvt.
