The aim of CAD Import

Generate system model from 3D CAD

To introduce you with sketch generation feature within CAD Import, we follow the workflow that ends-up with the creation of a model within Simcenter Amesim from a CAD of a simple hydraulic pipe. We show how to associate primitives to a CAD bodies and create connections between the bodies. The aim of the exercise is to show you the basic facilities of 1D modeling tools and to familiarize you with the common options.
