Tree Legend

Bold characters (active)

Currently active analysis model and project are indicated in bold characters.

The commands on the ribbon menu are executable.

Double click the item on the tree to switch.

* mark

Indicates that the item is being edited currently.

<incomplete>

Indicates that the information required for the simulation is not fully entered.
Double click the item and complete the data entry in the launched dialog box.

<undefined>

Indicates that the attribute data doesn't exist.
To create it, double click the item, enter the attribute data in the launched dialog box, and click OK.

Databases

Body attribute data /Material property data/Boundary condition data

Each analysis model has its own data of these.

They can are used only by their owner model.

They can be shared through User DB. Right click the mouse and click [Transfer to User DB].

Material Database

Common DB contains the data for various standard materials.
See [How to Set Body Attribute/Material Property] for more details.

• Incomplete data may exist.

• Values are not editable in this DB.

User DB

Some data which are used often can be stored in Use DB

Once stored in User DB, they can be shared with other projects and analysis models.

Specify their folders at [General Settings] - [Database].

To use the data in the database,

select [Use in Active Analysis Model] on the right-click menu.

• How to share a file among users
  ”UserV2.***” is created in a folder specified at Database of [General Settings]. (Note that "User.***” is a file created by Femtet version 2020.0 or earlier )
  The file is shared by copying it to individual computers.
  

• The database created by Femtet version 2021.0 or later cannot be used in the earlier versions.

  Batch simulations will be executed for all the analysis models.
  See [How to Use the Batch Execution Tool].
   

Operations on analysis models

• Copy the analysis model
  Right click on the analysis model name and click [Copy into Project].
  To copy it into other project, click [Copy] first. Then, right click on the other project name and click [Paste].
   

• Delete the analysis model
  Right click on the analysis model name and click [Delete].
  The results will be deleted as well. It is not possible to undo the operation.
  

• Rename the analysis model
  Select the analysis model name, and click it again or press the <F2> key to get into the edit mode.
  

• Run the mesher and the solver
  Right click on the analysis model name and click [Run Mesher/Solver].
  

• Create the 2D model
  Right click the analysis model name and click [Create 2D Model].
  You can create a 2D or axisymmetric analysis model from the selected one.
  See [How to Create 2D/Axisymmetric Analysis Model from 3D Model].
  

Operations on models

• Show the modeling window
  Double click 'Model', or right click on it and click [Show Modeling Window].
  The main window will turn to the modeling window.
  

• Copy the model
  Right click on 'Model' and click [Copy].
  Then right click on the name of destination analysis model and click [Paste].
  

Operations on analysis conditions

• Check or edit the model unit / analysis space
  Double click the 'Model unit/Analysis space', or right click on it and click [Edit Analysis Space].
  The dialog box for Analysis Space Setting will appear.
  

• Check or edit the analysis conditions
  Double lick the 'Analysis Condition', or right click on it and click [Edit Analysis Conditions].
  The dialog box for Analysis Condition Setting will appear.
  

• Copy the analysis conditions
  Right click on the 'Analysis Condition' and click [Copy].
  Then right click on the name of destination analysis model and click [Paste].
  

Operations on attributes (body attributes, material properties and boundary conditions)

• Edit attributes
  Double click on the attribute name or press the <Enter> key on it. The dialog box will appear.
  

• Rename attributes
  Select the attribute name, and press the <F2> key or click the name again to get into the edit mode.
  All the names of bodies and topologies bearing that attribute name will change as well.
  

• Delete attributes
  Select the attribute name and press the <Delete> key. The associated body attributes and material properties will be deleted.
  

• Transfer the attributes to User DB
  Right click the attribute name and click [Transfer Attributes to User DB].
  The attribute data will be registered into the Common DB folder on the project tree.
  If that attribute name already exists in the Common DB, you will be asked whether you want to overwrite it.

Operations on bodies

• Delete attributes
  Select the body and press the <Delete> key. The associated body attributes will be deleted. (The body will not be deleted.)
  

Operations on mesh sizes

• Edit the general mesh size
  To set the general mesh size, single-click the general mesh size on the tree. Alternatively, execute [Edit] on the right-click menu.
  One tenth of the maximum dimension of the model will be the general mesh size,
  1) if you leave it blank or enter a negative value, or 2) if you select [Automatic Calculation] on the right-click menu.
  
  If you select 'General Mesh Size' and press the <Delete> key, it will become 'Automatic Calculation'.
  

• Edit the individual mesh sizes
  Click on the size figure and press the <F2> key or click it again. You will get into the edit mode.

Operations on variables

Operations on results
