Return the validated design options or recommended changes to the designer when testing is complete. Modify and send data between Discovery SpaceClaim and ANSYS, and rerun the tests as often as necessary. To start a new design, click New Discovery SpaceClaim Geometry in ANSYS to launch Discovery SpaceClaim with an empty design. These files are actually zip archives with a special structure, the contents of which are primarily XML data., then use Edit Geometry to launch Discovery SpaceClaim with that document loaded. Files comply with the Microsoft Open Packaging Convention, which is also used by Microsoft Office 2007. To work with an existing design, click Import Geometry in ANSYS and choose an existing SCDOC file File format for SpaceClaim files (.scdoc). Simplify and modify the model for analysis.ĭefine parameters and named selections that you can use in ANSYS.ĪNSYS 11.0, 12.0, and 12.1: Launch ANSYS from Discovery SpaceClaim, and then set up analysis conditions and constraints using the powerful simulation tools in ANSYS.ĪNSYS 13.0: Start ANSYS Workbench and create a geometry cell: Import a CAD model into Discovery SpaceClaim.

Driving parameters can be edited within ANSYS to run sets of iterative analyses. The geometry is sent into ANSYS along with any driving parameters or analysis specific attributes (spot welds, midsurfaces thicknesses, etc) that you have defined. With this add-in, you can send a model that was imported or created in Discovery SpaceClaim to ANSYS Workbench, ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS DesignModeler, or any other integrated ANSYS products. Gain an in-depth understanding how to export PMBD files for transferring models to various ANSYS applications.You are here: Discovery SpaceClaim add-ins > ANSYS add-inĭiscovery SpaceClaim and ANSYS provide a combined solution that you can use to simplify CAD models for analysis. Understand how using minimal surface lattices will increase efficiency for additive manufacturing applications.

Learn how new autoskin features will simplify the combination of analytic geometry with autoskinned patches during reverse engineering. Join us for this free webinar that explores Discovery SpaceClaim’s latest advancements and how you can apply them to create dynamic new products. Another major upgrade helps users export PMBD files, enabling model transfer to various ANSYS applications. Additionally, Discovery SpaceClaim integrates two new minimal surface lattices to help users create additive manufacturing parts while significantly improving default sizing when shrink wrapping.

This will empower users to perform autoskin operations on open faceted bodies, simplifying the combination of analytic geometry with autoskinned patches during the reverse engineering process. ANSYS 2020 R1 introduces exciting new updates for ANSYS Discovery SpaceClaim.
