Create a new FEM in Teamcenter Integration mode

If you are in Teamcenter Integration mode using the Teamcenter for Simulation data model, the steps for creating a new FEM file are slightly different.

1. Open the New dialog box by doing one of the following:Right-click the master part or idealized part node in the Simulation Navigator, and choose New FEM.Right-click the master part or idealized part node in the Simulation File View subpanel of the Simulation Navigator, and choose New FEM.Choose File→New→ Item.

2. In the New Item dialog box, ensure that the Simulation tab is selected. Select a FEM template.

3. Enter an ID, Name, and Revision for the new part, or double-click any field with an asterisk (*) to automatically generate unique identifiers.

4. If necessary, click Specify folder to change the Teamcenter folder where the revision item is managed.

5. Click OK.The New FEM dialog box is displayed.

6. (Optional) FEM files are typically associated with a master part. To create a FEM that is not associated with a master part (if, for example, you plan to import FE data from another program), clear the Associate to Master Part check box and proceed to step 11.

7. FEM files are typically associated with an idealized part. The idealized part is an assembly that contains the master part as a component. All geometry idealization is performed on the idealized part. Enter an ID, Name, and Revision for the idealized part, or double-click any field with an asterisk (*) to automatically generate unique identifiers. If necessary, click Specify folder to change the Teamcenter folder where the idealized part revision item is managed.To create a FEM that is associated directly to a master part (that is, if you are not performing any geometry idealization), clear the Create Idealized Part check box.

8. If your part contains multiple solid or sheet bodies, specify the bodies to include in the FEM. From the Bodies to Use list:Select All Visible (the default) to automatically include all solid or sheet bodies currently displayed in the idealized part and FEM.Select All to automatically include all solid or sheet bodies, including hidden bodies, in the idealized part and FEM.Note: Because lightweight facet bodies contain no polygon edge or face data, you cannot create a FEM on lightweight facet representations in assembly reference sets. If you create a new FEM with the All option selected, the software skips any lightweight facet bodies in the assembly part. Select Select to include only selected bodies in the idealized part and FEM. When you click Select Bodies, the Type Filter and Selection Scope become active in the Top Border bar, and you can select solid or sheet bodies in the graphics window. Facet bodies are not selectable.Select None to create an idealized part that contains no bodies from the master part.

9. (Optional) To include CAD reference geometry, such as points, curves, or coordinate systems, click Geometry Options and select the geometry to include.

10. Select the solver package you want to use.

11. Select the type of analysis you want to perform.

12. Click OK.The new FEM is displayed in the Graphics window.The Simulation Navigator displays the new FEM item revision, the idealized part item revision, and the master part item revision. It also lists all polygon bodies and, depending on your geometry options, coordinate systems. mypart_fem/A mypart_ideal/A mypart/A Polygon Geometry Polygon Body_1 CSYS 1 – csys Groups Fields
