Options

Units The unit of length to be used in exporting the model.
Export FEM Only When checked, only FEM will be exported to COSMOSM.
Export geometry When checked, only geometry will be exported. Exporting geometry helps you specify loads and boundary conditions in GEOSTAR.
Launch GEOSTAR automatically When this option is active, the software asks you whether you want to launch GEOSTAR every time you export a model to COSMOSM. The exported information will be automatically loaded to GEOSTAR upon confirmation. The GEOSTAR problem name is created as partname-studyname-geo.
You can also export your model to these FEA programs: ANSYS, NASTRAN, ABAQUS, Patran, IDEAS, and Exodus. You need SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional or Premium license to export your model to the available FEA programs.
