Applying Remote Force in Autodesk Simulation Mechanical

In Autodesk Simulation Mechanical, you can apply remote force by using the Remote Force tool. The remote force is a force that is originated from a point which is located in the space, not on the model. You can apply remote force like you apply a force on the model with the only difference that the location of the remote force origin can be anywhere in the space. You can...

Introduction to HVAC system in AutoCAD MEP

An HVAC system is used for maintaining desired environmental conditions in a specific area. It is composed of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. To create an HVAC system, you need to know the heating load of the desired area by using thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer principles. These load settings are used to determine the capacity of equipment to be added for HVAC. AutoCAD MEP has all the necessary tools to...

Midplane Meshing in Autodesk Simulation Mechanical

Meshing a model at the midplane location that is formed exactly at the center of inside and outside surfaces of the model to be meshed is called Midplane meshing. This type of mesh is used when the geometry of a model is symmetric about its inside and outside surfaces. The midplane mesh is generate by using plate elements instead of brick elements. Therefore, it is recommended...
