Reusing legacy finite element data to create system-level models

Assembling a system-level finite element model of an entire structure—from multiple component models—can be a daunting task. Frequently, this is due to various engineers or analysts working on each component model independently, which leads to downstream issues such as overlapping entity IDs and redundant entities. The precise final orientation of a component model may also not be available until other parts of the structure are properly positioned. In this webinar, we explore how to overcome these obstacles using specialized simulation software tools developed to streamline this process.

What to expect

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How to overcome common issues when creating a system-level model using various strategies to re-number unique entities and handle redundant entities
• How to simplify the transformation of components for precise orientation
• The value of data reuse when assembling a system-level model
