AutoSEA2 User ’s Guide Chapter 2: Building the Model AutoSEA2 makes it simple to build an accurate representa- tion of your system for vibro-acoustic analysis. This chapter provides the essential information for the basic model- building steps. Specific examples are provided in the tuto- rial sessions in the Appendixes. Additional detail can be found in the on-line Help. Defining geometry Geometry forms the foundation for all AutoSEA2 capabili- ties and is a logical first step in model creation. You define geometry by specifying the three-dimensional coordinates of a set of nodes, or geometric points. Geometry may be imported from existing models, including other applica- tions. Each node has a unique ID number. All nodes use a single global cartesian coordinate system. You can create nodes using any combination of the methods summarized in Table 2-1. After they are created, nodes can be viewed in the browser and 3D windows. They can also be edited, copied, and deleted (see “Making modifica- tions”). Geometry data can be imported into AutoSEA2 from sev- eral Computer Aided Design (CAD) and finite element (FE) applications. CAD applications include CATIA, PROE, SAT and IGES. FE applications include Nastran and I- DEAS. Import CAD or FE geometry using menu: FilesImportCAD Geometry (or FE Model)(source application), as shown below. 23 Chapter 2: Building the Model . . . There are many possible CAD and FE entity types that can be imported. Please consult the on-line Help for a list of supported entities before importing CAD and FE geometry. Imported CAD geometry is discretized (meshed) into nodes, 1-D elements and 2-D elements depending on the import options you choose, as described in the on-line Help.
