Analysis Workbench Connections

The Analysis Connections workbench of the Generative Assembly Structural Analysis product
let's you add constraints to Existing geometry. You Can Also add These constraints
workbench using Product (Design mode). If so, the geometry will Be over-constrained.

Creating a Face Face Face Face Connection Analysis
connections Connections Are Used For Connecting
That Are Either faces parallel to or concentric cylinders Each Others, on an assembly model. Remember That You
Enter the Analysis Connections workbench of the Generative Assembly Structural Analysis
product.
This task shows you how to create a Face Face Connection.
1. Select the Face Face Connection icon.
The Analysis Face Face Connection dialog box is displayed.
2. Select a face first on the assembly .
To manipulate the product more Easily click with the middle mouse button on the product. Creating a

Welding Welding
Point Connection Point Analysis Connections Are Used For PROJECTING welding connections
points onto two faces, on an assembly model.
You are still in the Analysis Connections workbench of the Generative Assembly Structural Analysis
product
This task shows you how to create a Connection Point Welding.
1. Select Start -> Analysis & Simulation -> Analysis Connections.
2. Select the Connection Point Welding icon.
The Analysis Welding Points Connection dialog box is displayed.
3. Select a face on the first assembly.
The Analysis Welding Points Connection dialog box Appears as Shown here: Adding

Property Connections Property Connections Are Used to Specify the boundary interaction entre
bodysuits in an assembled system. Once the geometric constraints positioning assembly
Are defined at the Product level, the dog user Specify the physical nature of the constraints.
You will now enter in the Generative Structural
Analysis workbench of the Generative Part Structural Analysis product. For this, Select Start->
Analysis & Simulation -> Generative Structural Analysis from the menu bar and select the Static Analysis
case and click OK in the New Analysis Case dialog box.
1. Property Desired Select the Connection icon. Connections

2. Select the Analysis Previously created connections (Either from the specification tree or
on the geometry).

Computing the Static Case
The Compute command is MOST Often Case Analysis Applied to Solutions (Which Are particularcular
types of objects sets). In this case, it generates the analysis case solution, along with partial
results for all objects involved in the definition of the Analysis Case.
The primary Static Solution Computation result consists of a displacement vector whose
components represent the values of the system degree of freedom. This result can be further
processed to produce other results such as stresses, reaction forces, etc.
The program can compute simultaneously several Solution objects sets, with optimal parallel
computation whenever applicable.
You are still in the Generative Structural Analysis workbench of the Generative
Part Structural Analysis product.

This task will show you how to compute thand Static Case Solution of a Finite Element Model on Which you
Previously created connections.
1. Click the Storage Location icon. The Current
Storage Location dialog box is displayed.
2. If needed, change the path of the Storage Results and / or Computation Data directory (Results
Data Computation and Data fields) To Another directory.
The Computation and Data Results Are stored in one single file with extensions Given:
xxx.CATAnalysisResults
xxx.CATAnalysisComputations

When you create a connection, you first create an assembly Generally constraint in the Assembly Design workbench.
Then, in the Generative Structural Analysis workbench, you add a property on this constraint (fastened, pressure fit
ards
(Generative Structural Analysis workbench). As a result, a number of These design Given constraints
Need to Be That de-activated so the model is not over-constrained. You May Also Need to add design constraints at a distance Given
(this constraint goes through to virtual point) so That You Can simulate a part That Was Not designed. What Type of Property
For What Type of Connection?
1. For Connections Between Two Surfaces
