You can import simulation features defined on a part or sub-assembly
document into a new static study created on an assembly document that contains the same part
or sub-assembly document.
To import predefined study features into an assembly
document:
- Right-click the top study icon in a Static study PropertyManager, and select
Import Study Features
, or
- When creating a new Static study, in the Study
PropertyManager select Import Study Features under .
The assembly hierarchy lists parts and sub-assemblies with predefined
Simulation studies. From the list, select the parts or sub-assemblies to import their
simulation features into a new static study. Click

to switch between flattened and hierarchical view for
the assembly components.
The simulation features you can import are:
body types (solids, shells, and beams), material, contact, connectors, fixtures,
loads, and mesh control definitions from static studies. You can import all these
types of simulation features, or select which features to import.
You cannot import study features from 2D Simplification studies
(plane stress, plane strain, and axisymmetric).

Select All
|
Selects all predefined Simulation features to
import. |
 |
All body types and Materials
|
Imports the body definitions (solids,
shells, and beams) and materials. |
|
All Connectors and Contacts
|
Imports all connector and contact
definitions. |
 |
All
Fixtures |
Imports all fixture definitions. |
 |
All External
Loads |
Imports all external loads
definitions
except the loads:
- Gravity
- Centrifugal
- Thermal loads imported from a thermal study or a Flow
simulation study
- Fluid pressure imported from a Flow simulation study
|
 |
All Mesh
Control |
Imports all mesh control definitions. |
|
Study
Selection |
Filters the static study that contains the
features to import. There could be more than one static study
associated to the selected component. |
|
Configuration
Name |
Lists the configurations of the selected static
study to import (for more than two configurations per study). You
can only import simulation features associated with the selected
configuration. |
|
Propagate imported
study features to all instances (*) |
For models that have multiple instances of the
same part or sub-assembly and the same configuration, you can
propagate the selected study features to all instances. An asterisk
appears next to the selected part or assembly documents. |
