Some menu and toolbar items are self explanatory. Well cover the basic
controls on the next few slides.
Additional controls and features will be introduced throughout the course as they are
encountered.
The various views in Workbench and Mechanical can be customized. If you
need to return to the default layout use either or both:
Mechanical: View > Windows > Layout > Reset Window Layout.
Workbench: View > Reset Window Layout.
In most cases, an alternate path to these features is available via the right
mouse button (RMB) when the associated branch is highlighted.

Again, becoming familiar with the status icons will allow you to debug Mechanical
problems quickly. To help you in this task, you can use the Show Errors button.

01.11 Graphics Window
The Graphics Window shows the geometry and results. Tabs allow access to Print and Report
Previews as well.
Activate Worksheet
Note : A Physics Filter toggles between displaying all materials and properties or only materials relevant to the
analysis systems in the project
A key concept in Engineering Data is that materials must be checked out of a material library and into a project
before they can be used in your analysis
NOTE:
Only the materials shown in this view
will be available in the current
Mechanical analysis.

Toggle to the Data Sources display.

Highlight the material library where the new
material is to be stored.
The material library must be unlocked (edit mode) before
new materials can be added.
Engineering Data files (libraries and materials) are stored in .xml format.
TIP: There are two ways to create the connectors between the systems:
1) Use the mouse to draw a line (e.g. A2 to B3, B4 to C4 etc)
2) Or, simply drop the new system on the cell of the upstream one,
and the link will be generated automatically.
The square connector shows that the The round connector shows that the
geometry created in cell A2 (CFD CFD results are being transferred as
model) is being shared with cell B3 a Setup (input) condition to be used
(FEA model). for FEA stress analysis.
Annotation Preferences:
Controls the display of
annotations for loads/constraints,
user labels, remote conditions
and meshing displays.
Make preference selections then
Apply or OK to reflect the
changes.
