Updating the finite element model

Use the Update FEM command to update the material and element properties referenced by the design variable modeling objects in the FEM or Simulation, with the current optimized design variable values of the active Model Update or the Model Update Set solution process.

The command resets the initial values and adjusts the bounds of the design variable modeling objects in the Simulation file.
