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.
