Analysis Library Features
An analysis library feature is a frequently used analysis feature (such
as load/restraint, mesh control, contact condition, etc) that
you create once and save in a library for future use.
The advantages of using analysis libraries are twofold:
Automate the use of analysis library items defined
for a certain model in other similar models
Provide a means for the expert to define the most
commonly used analysis features to analyze a specific design environment
or operating conditions
Analysis Library
When you define an analysis library and set its path appropriately,
the program creates an analysis library
folder identified by the icon
in the Task Pane. The Analysis Library folder is located on
the disk in <install_directory>\Data\Analysis Library. The following
folders are included in the Analysis
Library folder:
Environment.
Contains library documents with groups of loads, supports, study properties,
contacts, mesh controls, etc.
Examples.
Contains examples highlighting different techniques for using loads, fixtures,
contact conditions, etc. See Simulation
Advisor Examples.
Loads.
Contains documents with load library items.
Supports.
Contains documents with support library items.
You can use analysis library folders to perform the following tasks:
Display the analysis library features and the
subfolders that contain library features.
Preview the analysis library feature parts.
Insert the library features in part or assembly
documents
To set the path to existing analysis library folders, click Simulation,
Options. Under the System
Options tab, select Default
library.
