References and Values with Analysis Library Features
When you save a part or an assembly as an analysis library, the software
adds a Library References and
a Library Values folder in the
Simulation study tree.
Library References
Lists the references that you need to specify when you insert this feature.
When you define a load or a fixture and add it to a library, the software
creates at least one item in the Library
References folder. The Library
References folder lists all selections related to defining a load,
fixture, or connection library feature.
For example, when you define a load, fixture, or connection, you select
a load/fixture/connection entity, a reference geometry to define direction
(if applicable), and provide numerical value(s) for that load, fixture,
or connection. When you add the feature to the library, the software creates
an item in the Library References
folder for each selection
you made when you defined the feature. Items corresponding to the feature
values are created in the Library Values
folder as described in the following section.
Library Values
The Library Values folder contains
all input values related to defining a load, fixture, or connection item
marked as a library feature. For example, when you define a load, you
provide numerical values for the components of the load. When you mark
this load as a library feature, the numerical values appear in the Library Values folder. Each input value
will be represented by a separate item in the Library
Values folder. Unless marked as Internal
Values (described below), you can change any numerical value and
define lower and upper bounds.
Internal Values
If you do not want other users to change a prescribed value while inserting
a library feature, mark the value as an Internal
Value.
To mark a load/fixture value as an internal value:
Select the value from the Library
Values folder.
Drag the value to the Internal
Values folder.
