Assembly FEM > Associative workflow

Map an assembly component to an existing FEM file

In the Simulation Navigator, right-click an ignored CAD component part and choose the Map Existing command.If there are multiple instances of the same CAD component part, right-click an ignored CAD component part and choose Find All Matching Components. Then right-click the selection and choose the Map Existing command to map the component FEM to all matching CAD components, or choose the Map Existing Individually command to select different component FEMs for each matching CAD component.
Choose a loaded FEM file from the FE Model list, or click Open to browse for an assembly FEM file.To map a subassembly FEM to a CAD subassembly, choose a loaded assembly FEM file (.afm), or click Open to browse for an assembly FEM file.(Optional) If you are using Teamcenter Integration, you can click Open Associated Model to choose from a list of CAEModel revisions with source or target relations to the selected CAD item revision.
(Optional) Choose a Layer Option.
Click OK.In the Simulation Navigator, the CAD component icon and the text color update to indicate that it is a mapped component, and the FEM file appears as a child of the assembly FEM node. Assembly FEM Loaded CAD assembly CAD component part (Ignored) CAD component part (Mapped) CAD component part (Ignored) A component FEM.The FEM is displayed in the graphics window and inherits the CAD component's orientation and position in the CAD assembly.
