About this Block

The Parametric FE Model block is used in field optimization to optimize one or more Parametric FE Components. The Parametric FE Model works similar to the Simulation Model block; however, it requires one or more FE domains to be a Parametric FE Domain. Common uses:
  • This block is used as an input to Field Optimization block
  • If you want a solid domain that is not optimized during the field optimization process, then a Solid Domain can be placed in the Parametric FE Domains list.
  • Note: The Solid Domain will not be “optimized” but will act as a solid passive region.
  • Each Parametric FE Domain has one FE Mesh and at least one FE Attribute.
  • A Parametric FE Model does not need a connector if only one FE Domain exists.
  • A Parametric FE Domain block can auto convert (called autocast) to a Parametric FE Model when it is used as an input that requires a Parametric FE Model. This is useful for single domain setups.
Combine a list of Parametric FE Domains and corresponding Connectors into a Parametric FE Model. The block performs checks to determine whether all objects are restrained properly.
