The importance of the work part in CAE applications

When you create NX Open applications for CAE, you must understand which operations occur in which part types so you can ensure that the appropriate part is the work part.

For example:

• You define meshes when a FEM file is the work part.Note: Although you can view meshes when a Simulation file is the work part, meshes, along with nodes and elements, can only be created or modified when a FEM file is the work part. If you examine the data model, you will see that a mesh is simply an occurrence object in a Simulation file, while it is a prototype object in a FEM file.

• You create boundary conditions and specify solution options when a Simulation file is the work part.

• You make certain modifications to geometry, such as removing chamfers, when the idealized part is the work part.
