Simulation Panel

The validation run is supported for Radioss only and it provides a quick overview of your material card.

  1. Select a shell or a solid model from the Select Property list. In case of shell model, the thickness can be specified.
  2. Define a model from the Select Geometry list. The geometry of the specimen is displayed.
  3. Click Run Simulation.
