NX Open for CAE terminology and concepts

Creating NX Open for CAE applications is different from creating standard NX Open applications. This is because of:

• The depth and complexity of the data model used in CAE.

• The unique solver language system used by CAE to interface with external analysis solvers, such as Simcenter Nastran, ANSYS, and Abaqus.

To successfully create NX Open for CAE applications, you must have an understanding of certain terminology and concepts. This section covers:

• CAD terminology and concepts, including assembly relations.

• CAE terminology and concepts, including the different part types used in CAE and the relationships between them.

• The importance of the work part in CAE applications.

• An overview of the CAE data model and how to work with objects in the data model hierarchy.

• The CAE solver language structure and its importance for obtaining name strings and property table settings.

• Managing Undo marks and model updates.
