Chapter 4 Revise Models And Stress Analyses; Change Model Geometry - Autodesk 466B1-05A761-1304 - AutoCAD Inventor Simulation Suite 2010 Getting Started Manual

Revise Models and Stress
Analyses
After you run a simulation for your model, you can evaluate how changes to the model or
analysis conditions affect the results of the simulation.
This chapter explains how to change simulation conditions for the model and rerun the
simulation.

Change Model Geometry

After you run an analysis on your model, you can change the design of your
model. Rerun the analysis to see the effects of the changes.
Edit a design and rerun analysis
1 In the browser, right-click the part or assembly you want to edit and click
Open.
This opens the component in another window where you can make
changes. At the bottom of the window near the status bar there is a tab for
each open document. For the purposes of this discussion, we talk about a
part edit.
2 In the browser, expand the feature node that you want to edit.
3 In the browser, right-click the sketch for the feature that you want to edit
and click Show Dimensions. The dimensions for that feature display over
the model.
4 Double-click the dimension that you want to change, enter the new value
in the text box, and then click the green check mark. The sketch updates.
5 In the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) click the Update model command.
