DesignModeler-Graphical User Interface

•DesignModeler (DM) is a component of ANSYS Workbench.

•A CAD-like modeler with analysis modeling goals:

–Performs unique geometry modification capabilities for simulation:

•Feature Simplification

•Enclosure Operation

•Fill Operation

•Spot Welds

•Split Surfaces

•Surface Model Extraction

•Planar Body Extraction

•Beam Modeling

–Contains parametric modeling capability:

•2D Sketcher with Dimensions and Constraints

–Integrates directly with Ansys Workbench modules

•Simulation

•Meshing

•Advanced Meshing (ICEM)

•DesignXplorer

•BladeModeler

•A DesignModeler session can begin with CAD geometry:

–File > Attach to Active CAD Geometry:

•Detects and imports current CAD model from open CAD system

•Plug-in mode (Bi-directional)

–File > Import External Geometry File . . .

•Browse to and open neutral geometry files (Parasolid, SAT, etc.)

•Reader mode

–Import options include:

•Body type (solid, surface, all)

•Simplification

–Geometry: turns NURBs into analytic geometry if possible

–Topology: merges duplicate entities

•Clean/Heal: attempts to repair incomplete or poorly defined geometry
