Once Named Selections are transferred to ANSYS, they can be referenced as Components to do the following: Apply types of loads not supported in Simulation Change element attributes Define additional elements not supported in Simulation Special postprocessing tasks …etc. This allows selection of surface and line bodies, not just solid bodies! The following conventions apply when Named Selections in Simulation are transferred as ANSYS Components: Names beginning with a number have the prefix “C_” added Spaces will be replaced by underscores If multiple selection groups have the same name, only the last one is converted as an ANSYS component FebruInventory #002177 5-4

Named Selections transferred as ANSYS Components: Vertex, edge, and surface named selections are transferred as nodal components with the same name Named selections of solid, surface, and line bodies transfer as element components with the same name Change the selection filter to “Body”. To reference any “geometry” in ANSYS, the geometry must first be defined as a Named Component in Simulation FebruInventory #002177 5-3 FebruInventory #002177 5-2Īs will be seen subsequently, there are different ways to interface with ANSYS to access advanced functionality However, when the model is transferred to ANSYS, only node and element entities are sent Solid model geometry is not referenced by the ANSYS solver Because of this, it may be difficult to select or manipulate the model if only the finite element mesh is present Named Selections provide a convenient way of selecting and manipulating the mesh Named Selections are defined in Simulation These are transferred as Components in ANSYS, where they can be selected or manipulated, as needed.

2 Chapter Overview In this chapter, the following ways of interfacing with ANSYS will be covered: Named Selections and ANSYS Components Using Commands Objects Loading a Simulation Environment Directly in ANSYS The capabilities described in this section are generally applicable to ANSYS Professional licenses or above.
