Export and Solve

Analysis > Export and Solve

This option will export the solver input deck file in solver specific format. SimLab supports Abaqus, AcuSolve, ADVENTURECluster, Ansys, Converge, Femap, Fluent, Marc, Molding, Nastran, nFX, OptiStruct, Radioss,Permas , LS-Dyna,StarCCM+ and Smp.

Description

  1. Select the solver type and the required analysis type and export the solver input file.
  2. The write option is used to export the solver input files in different forms either as a single file or separate files for each models/bodies
    • By Default all model details are written out in a single file.
    • The By Models option will export, each model details in separate files and these files are referred in a main file.
    • The By Bodies option will export, each body details in separate files and these files are referred in a main file.
    • The Part Assembly option is supported only for Abaqus, where each model details are written out in Abaqus Part Assembly format.
  3. User can set various solver and analysis specific option in the Advanced options.
  4. The Renumber toggle will renumber the nodes/elements starting from 1. If users have predefined the node/element IDs and would like to preserve in the solver input file, then this option should be avoided.
  5. The Remove orphan nodes toggle will delete any unused nodes (the nodes which are not associated with any of the elements or Loads and Constraints) when exporting the model.
  6. On Data Check, the solver will be executed, the exported data will be verified and the report will be created.
  7. On Solve, the solver will be run/executed directly from SimLab and the results will be loaded into SimLab automatically for visualization.
  8. The Data Check and Solve button will be enabled only if the solver path is configured during SimLab installation.
  9. On Export, SimLab exports the model and loads & constraints data based on the solver specific format.
