Workflow for Performing 2D Simplification

Contents

• Defining a 2D Simplification Study
  

  You use the 2D simplification option when defining a static, nonlinear, thermal, pressure vessel design, and design studies on qualifying 3D models.

• 2D Simplification PropertyManager
  

  The 2D Simplification PropertyManager manages the creation of 2D sections from 3D geometries.

• Creating the 2D Section
  

  You select the type of 2D simplification option to use, create a 2D section, and define the section depth or the axis of symmetry.

• Viewing Results
  

  After running a 2D simplification study, you can plot the results in 3D.

• Examples of Simplification Options
  

• Study Tree Features
  

• Restrictions on 2D Simplification Studies
  

  Setting up a 2D simplification analysis is similar to setting up any other study.
