Introduction to Ansys SpaceClaim

Workshop 1.1 CFD: Basics

Release 2022 R1

Please note:
• These training materials were developed and tested in Ansys Release 2022 R1. Although they are
expected to behave similarly in later releases, this has not been tested and is not guaranteed.
• The screen images included with these training materials may vary from the visual appearance of a
local software session.
• Although some workshop files may open successfully in previous releases, backward compatibility
is somewhat unlikely and is not guaranteed.

Overview

• In this workshop we will learn about:


‐ Launching SpaceClaim Direct Modeler
‐ Exploring the Ribbon Toolbar
‐ Using the Structure Tree
‐ File Operations

Objectives

• To start SpaceClaim in standalone mode and from Workbench


• To become acquainted with geometry creation basics
• To become acquainted with the structure tree
• To import geometry within current component and as a new component

Starting up SCDM and Navigating (1)

• Launch SCDM and open the file ‘pipe.scdoc’


‐ Do this in standalone mode

Starting up SCDM and Navigating (2)

• Launch SCDM and open the file ‘pipe.scdoc’


‐ Do this as part of a Workbench workflow

Exploring the Ribbon Toolbar (1)

• Familiarize yourself with the Ribbon Toolbar – try the following:


‐ Rotate, translate, and zoom in on the pipe
• Look for the “Orient” section in the “Design” tab: “Spin”, “Pan”, and “Zoom” controls
• Now try with just the middle mouse button and “Control” key
• Return to “Isometric” view (from the purple cube drop-down list)
‐ Experiment with some of the other “Orient” features like the purple cube list which contains default views

Exploring the Ribbon Toolbar (2)

• Familiarize yourself with the Ribbon Toolbar – try the following:


‐ Measure the length of the pipe
• Use the “Measure” tool in the “Inspect” section of the “Measure” tab
• Use “Control+Click” to select both annular faces at the end of the pipe

Structure Tree (1)

• SCDM has an international Microsoft


Office look and feel, and as such uses
similar commands such as “Control-C”
for Copy followed by “Control-V” for
Paste
‐ Rotate pipe by 90 degrees (triple-click the
pipe in graphics window to select solid
instead of surface, select “Move” from
ribbon toolbar, click the red arrow to rotate
about x-axis; type the angle and hit enter)
‐ Note that:
• We have 2 solid bodies and 1 surface body
• The rotation is not recorded in the tree Red corresponds
to rotation axis
• The order of bodies in the tree does not matter (try
dragging the surface between the two solids in the
tree)
• This is in contrast to a history-based tool like
DesignModeler

Structure Tree (2)

• Body operations are not included in the structure tree (the essence of a direct modeler)
‐ Delete the surface (Right click in the tree then delete and combine the two pipes into one body
(“Combine” tool in the “Design” tab). There is now 1 body in the tree
‐ Put rounds on the outer diameter edge loops using the “pull” tool (from either the mini toolbar or the
options panel you can select the four edges with CTRL + click. Set the round radius to 2 mm)
• Note that again, this operation is not recorded in the tree

File Operations (1)

• Different SCDM projects can be dragged and dropped into one another
‐ Save the current SCDM project as “pipe_final.scdoc”
‐ Drag and drop the original “pipe.scdoc” into the graphics window
• Delete the surface body from the tree and rotate the added solid -45 (or +315) degrees about the x-axis as shown

‐ This provides ease of use when working with assemblies

File Operations (2)

• CAD files of many formats can be dragged and dropped into a current SC session, not just
“*.scdoc” files!
‐ Locate the Parasolid file “cad_c_car.x_b”
‐ Drag and drop “cad_c_car.x_b” into the top toolbar instead of the graphics window

Drag and drop up here

New design tab

‐ Note that this opens the car model into a new design tab rather than the existing one
