<p>Hello Adel,<br><br>Please follow these steps to create a user-defined Representative Volume Element (RVE) in Material Designer:<\/p><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. <span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Drag a ‘Geometry’ system into the Workbench project schematic window and import an .stl file. We’ll refer to this as System A. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. <span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Open the geometry in SpaceClaim and convert it to a solid. If necessary, repair the geometry. At this stage, you may also model an additional cube for wrapping purposes. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. <span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Minimize the SpaceClaim window for System A. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. <span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Return to Workbench and drag a ‘Material Designer’ system onto the project schematic. We’ll refer to this as System B. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. <span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Define the materials using Engineering Data. <\/span><\/li>\n
  6. <span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Open ‘Material Designer’ from System B and select the model type as User-Defined. Then minimize the window. <\/span><\/li>\n
  7. <span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Go back to the minimized SpaceClaim window for System A. Select all bodies and copy them. <\/span><\/li>\n
  8. <span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Reopen the Material Designer window and paste all bodies. Before pasting the geometry, ensure that the unit systems are consistent across both windows. If they’re not, you can adjust them in the Design Modeler window by navigating to File -> SpaceClaim options -> Units.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <p><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Once the geometry is pasted in Material Designer window, you should be able to proceed with defining the RVE model. <\/span><\/p><p>Hope this helps!<br>Regards,<br>Asitang L<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-395156","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/395156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/395156\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
