Description
FEM Examples launches a graphical interface that allows you to access the different examples available in the FEM workbench.
Usage
- Press the FEM Examples button, or go to Utilities → Open FEM examples.
- The FEM Examples view opens with various categories, All, Constraints, Equations, Materials, Meshes, Solvers.
- Open the categories, select one example, and press Setup to open the simulation case only; or press Run to open the case, and start the simulation, so that the results are available.
Note: the examples will use one of the finite element solvers that the workbench supports; therefore, the FEM solver
