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.

1. Click New Study (Simulation CommandManager).
2. In the PropertyManager, under Name, enter a name for the study.
3. Under Type, select one:
   • Static
   • Thermal
   • Nonlinear
4. Under Options, select Use 2D Simplification.
   For Pressure Vessel Design , this option does not appear. However, after creating the study, you can combine the results of static studies performed using the same type of 2D simplification analysis.
5. Click .
   The 2D Simplification PropertyManager appears.
