Hello, my name is Jérôme Guillemin with Siemens PLM software. Today in this
video I'm going to present you CAD2AME sketch generation, that is part of a
3D CAD environment within LMS Imagine.Lab Amesim.
This feature allows you to create from a 3D CAD model your equivalent system in
LMS Amesim.
So in this demonstration, I'm going to show you the workflow to create your
sketch from your 3D CAD model.
So I'm going to open from LMS Amesim CAD2AME, our 3D environment, and I'm
going to import the CAD,
that is the fluid domain of engine lubrication system. So the file
is loaded, and before to do the primitive associations to basic CAD bodies, that
will be afterwards your components in LMS Amesim. I'm going to process the CAD in
order for instance to create and split
these bodies into the main gallery and the different feeding
drillings. So I'm going to split this part,
so the body is already selected, and for the cutting plan
i'm going to select the center line of this pipe. You can see that now
my cutting plan appears.
So I select the constraint on the size of my plan, and with the manipulator
I'm going to extend the size of my plan so that it will take into account all
the different pipes.
So now I split the body, and here you can see that I have separated my bodies
from the main gallery.
So now I can perform the primitive association for instance, and
I'm going to switch to the 1D modelling mode.
I'm going to select for instance this pipe, and I'm going to associate it the
primitive.
So my domain is already defined here, create, and from the list here, I'm going
to select pipe. So my ports are automatically reconized and the parameters are also
calculated according to the shape of my CAD bodies and also the shape of my ports.
So I click "OK" to validate the primitive association.
I can do also, for instance, for this bend here. So I associate primitive, and I select
bend here,
so my ports are automatically recognized, and also my parameters
are calculated.
So once my primitive associations
are performed, I can move forward to the sketch generation.
So here, my primitive associations are done. You can check also that all my
connections between the primitives are listed here.
So they are also created automatically in CAD2AME, and you can check also if my
primitives are well connected.
So here you can see that some ports are unconnected.
That correspond to the bends of my system, that in during the sketch generation, will
be closed with plug or sources. So now, I'm going to perform the sketch generation,
and i'm going to show you
directly in LMS Amesim how it is.
So here I open my assistant for the sketch generation, so I click next. Here I select the
library for my system so it would be a thermal fluid application and thermal
hydraulic libraries.
I click next and now I generate my sketch.
So, you can see that your system is created on the sketch in LMS Amesim
directly, and you have also here some information about
how your components and submodels are setting, and also how the
parameters are done during this generation.
Ok, so now the sketch generation is performed, so
I can close my window, and here you can see that my sketch
is generated and it's practically the same topology as your CAD in the view
of the 3D screen. If a select a component, so you can see here that my
parameters are set and also they are tagged so I can see that they are coming
from CAD2AME.
So my model now is ready for simulation and analysis.
So you can see that CAD2AME sketch generation is a powerful tool to
automate and avoid error code parametrization stages from your
CAD model to your LMS Amesim system.
So now you can save time on model creation, and also focus on your
analyses of your systems. Thank you for watching this video, and please for
