2 Aims There are 225 slides in this file, it is NOT the expectation that you show all of them to the prospect/customer The aim here is to provide a deck of slides that you can choose to pick and mix from to show a workflow or solution that is appropriate to your requirements These slides describe the Core functionality. I have skipped some icons/functions as they are only applicable for one of the add-on applications. These can be used as the build up for a presentation on one of the add-on applications like Laminates, Response Simulation, Thermal, Flow etc As these slides are all built to a consistent style, doing a pick and mix will still result in a clean looking presentation Please note that after the Solver Language Environment slides, everything is NX Nastran specific Please provide any enhancements or suggestions to Guy.Wills@Siemens.com ( ) Slides 2 6 are not intended for Public use 2

52 52 NX Advanced Simulation : CAE Topology CAE Topology What is it? An abstracted layer of CAE specific topology with CAE specific modeling tools, over and above that provided by CAD Initially one polygon face is created for each CAD face What does it do? Automatically simplifies geometry by removing irregular and tiny features to allow effective CAE meshing Fully Manual through to a Fully Automatic process. Best practise is a mix of Manual and Automatic simplification Why is it valuable? Reduces the time to mesh and the number of elements generated (reducing solve time) while improving element quality and results accuracy
