Understanding the “Adapt to Thin Solids” and “Adapt to Features” Options in SimSolid
Hello, I am currently studying the capabilities of SimSolid on different models, by comparing the results with those obtained from classical finite element software. However, I am not always able to obtain consistent results between the two approaches. There are some parameters that I find difficult to fully understand, in…

Reporting of two bugs in Simlab electromagnetics
When I used imposed current with a parametrized current that should change over time, the current does not update over the rotation. It does with a circuit tho. When I go on solver settings→ Results request and a circuit is defined in my case, the software crashes. It does not crush if the current is given through the…

Best way to parametrize electric motor?
Hello, I am designing an electric motor and I am looking for the best solution to parametrize my model in order to study the effect of several geometrical lengths in my design. At the moment I am working with SolidWorks, but SimLab does not allow me to change its geometry in a parametric way. Therefore, every time I want…

What does this symbol mean?
Hi, When I volume mesh my body, I get that a volume gets this symbol after meshing. Could someone understand me what it means? All other bodies get a 3d shape next to their name, but only the air of my motor (cavity1) gets this blue 2d shape next to its name.

CSV file import to creat a new non linear material in SIMSOLID
I’m having trouble importing a CSV file to define a nonlinear material in SimSolid. The file is a valid CSV and starts with stress, strain, but SimSolid does not recognize it. I’ve spent several hours trying to import what should be a very simple file. Unfortunately, none of the provided examples work for me, and the…

How to create a virtual rod connection in Simsolid.
I am following tutorial SS-T-2090 to set up the virtual rod and want to apply a pre-tension force to the rod. However, I am currently unable to apply it, as the system prompts that the load point at one end of the rod can only be a single point. I selected the load point mode as the cylindrical surface.
