Associative copy techniques for CAE workflows

Before you can make any modifications to an idealized part, you must first create an associative copy of the geometry you want to modify. For an explanation of the idealized part and its assembly structure, see Idealized part file.

Depending on your requirements, you can use two different techniques to enable modifications to the idealized part:

• Use the Promote command to promote selected solid or sheet bodies.

• Use the WAVE Geometry Linker command to create WAVE links for selected solid or sheet bodies, as well as geometry features such as edges and faces.

Although both commands allow you to tailor the geometry to meet the requirements of a CAE analysis, there are benefits and limitations to each technique.
