SimLab Automation
• CAD Import
SimLab’s Direct CAD Import gives access to design parameters exposed in CAD
software and allows the definition of parameters inside SimLab that define feature
modification (Regeneration), which enables the user to study the influence of design
parameters on the result.
The group information of entities like faces and edges can also be imported
into SimLab as groups which enable the user to define mesh control, loads
and boundary condition. Regenerating the model will retain the group
information

Color spec
• Standard color coding should be followed.
• Colors can be applied in CAD systems or inside SimLab.
• Each feature should be identified with unique color.
• Import the model and use Render Mode | Face Color to see the colors
assigned to faces.
• RGB values can be seen in output window when a face is selected.
• After applying meshcontrols to different features, export a mesh specification
file using Color option.
• This spec can be imported to any model which was color coded with the same
color standard. ( Ed: Holes – Blue, Planar Face- Red, Fillets – Green)

Group / Name – Mesh spec
• Entities ( Faces, Edges, Body)should be assigned a specific name
• SimLab will read the name details and create groups.
• After creating mesh controls, export using Group/Name based mesh
specification file.
