SCDM-Intro 17.0 Module06 SpaceClaim To Workbench

This document provides an overview of the process for transferring models from ANSYS SpaceClaim to Workbench, focusing on material assignment, named selections, and parameters. It outlines the necessary properties for material transfer, the creation of driving dimensions, and the steps for defining named selections. Additionally, it explains how to manage the transfer process and the importance of renaming and organizing parameters and selections for effective modeling.

Defining Material
• Material properties can be passed to
Workbench as long as the property option is set
• Following properties must be defined for the
material to transfer from SCDM to Workbench:
– Density, Elastic Modulus, Poisson’s
ratio
– Material properties option should be
checked in properties of SpaceClaim
geometry in workbench project
schematic

• Material can be defined as new or simply picked from the library


• Note: Even if the material is picked from the library, if it doesn’t have one of the properties mentioned
above it will not be transferred to Workbench (In such cases standard ANSYS material will be applied
i.e. structural steel)

Parameters and Named Selections
• Parameters and Named Selections can be transferred to
Workbench by creating Groups in SpaceClaim
• Driving Dimensions can also be created
– Need to use the Pull or Move menu
– Make dimension appearing on the display window.

• Parameters can also be edited and modified within


Workbench which will modify the geometry in SpaceClaim

Parameters
• Parameters are used for parametric study in WB.
To define driving parameters in SpaceClaim:
– You should be in Pull or Move mode
• Pull mode provides access to change in dimension (ex.
Hole radius)
• Move mode provides access to change in location and
orientation of features
– Select the feature to parameterize (The feature should
show dimension). You can also use ruler for dimensions
from reference object.
– In the groups tab click on Create Group.
– After this, a parameter group should be created under
Driving Dimension Folder for the said dimension.
– Default name (Group#) will be given to Parameter. You
can then rename by right clicking on it.
• Note: Keep parametric bodies in separate components in
order to avoid merging them after parameter update

Named Selections
• Named selections are defined to create a base object for
mesh methods, or to identify them for applying boundary
conditions in Workbench
• Named Selections for edge, faces and bodies are transferred
to Workbench
• Procedure to define Named Selection is as follows:
– Select mode should be active
– Select required entity/entities
(Edge, face or body)
– In the groups tab click on Create
Group
– Default name (Group#) will be
given to Named selection. You can
rename by right clicking on it.

SCDM  Workbench (1)
• Transfer to Workbench
– Driving Dimensions and Named Selections can be renamed (RMB click) in SpaceClaim
– Make sure Named Selections and Parameters are activated into WB options:
• SpaceClaim Options / File Options / Workbench

– Filtering prefixes:
• Delete the NS, ANS, and DS
prefixes, or
• Rename required Driving
dimensions and Named selections in
SpaceClaim with the corresponding
prefix

SCDM  Workbench (2)
• Geometry from SpaceClaim can be sent into
Workbench using the following methods
– Prepare tab  Workbench 17 (Direct link)
• Opens a Workbench page
• In the project schematic, link to the
appropriate Analysis system by dragging and
dropping the system from the toolbox on the
SpaceClaim cell
OR
– Open a Workbench & drag and drop desired
analysis system in project schematic
• Right click on geometry cell
• Again two options are available
– New SpaceClaim Direct modeler…, then
open the saved Spaceclaim file, or
– Import Geometry to open the saved
Spaceclaim file
