Replace Idealized/Master Part dialog box
| FEM Name | |
|---|---|
| Displays the name of the FEM file created by the New FEM command. | |
| CAD Part | |
| Associate to Master Part | Creates an association between the FEM and Simulation files and the selected master part. Select the check box to activate this option. |
| Part | Specifies the part file to associate the FEM file with. Select an open part file from the list, or click Open Part to browse for a part file. |
| Idealized Part | |
| Displayed only when Associate to Master Part is selected. | |
| Create Idealized Part | Creates and associates an idealized part to the selected master part when Associate to Part is selected. All geometry idealization occurs on the idealized part; the master part is unchanged. |
| Name | Displays the name of the idealized part file. |
| Bodies | |
| Displayed only when Associate to Master Part is selected. | |
| Bodies to Use | Allows you to select which bodies to include in the idealized part, FEM or Simulation, when the master part contains multiple bodies:All Visible includes only currently visible solid or sheet bodies from the master part in the idealized part, FEM, and Simulation. All automatically includes all solid or sheet bodies from the master part in the idealized part, FEM, and Simulation. With this option, any new bodies that you create with idealized part commands, such as Midsurface or Partition are automatically added to the FEM file.Select enables you to select one or individual bodies to include. With this option, any new bodies that you create with idealized part commands, such as Midsurface or Partition are not automatically added to the FEM file. With Select Bodies, you must manually edit the FEM file to add any additional bodies.None creates an idealized part file that includes no bodies from the master part. |
| Geometry | |
| Displayed only when Associate to Master Part is selected. | |
| Geometry Options | Displays the Geometry Options dialog box..Specifies any optional non-part geometry to include in the FEM polygon geometry representation of the part. You can choose to include:PointsCoordinate SystemsLinesArcs/CirclesSplinesSketch CurvesBy default, all Geometry Options are set to Off. |
