Creating Models for Simulation

Learn hints and tips from our simulation experts when defining your simulation strategy and thoughts on how to build best practices from the start, so you have confidence in the process and results at every stage.

Reducing the complexity of the as-designed geometry, down to the essential engineering features, is a key first step to reducing model size without reducing accuracy. This could even include abstracting the 3D CAD to lower-order forms.

First, define and understand the aims of the simulation. Then identify which aspects of your design are important to include in the simulation model. Remain focused on them with every decision you make. Learn hints and tips for defining your simulation strategy, and on how to build best practices from the start. Build confidence in the process and results at every stage.
