A subsystem is a CAE representation of a self-contained assembly or group of
assemblies within a larger system model. For example, the body, a seat, the
suspension, and the center console each make up a subsystem within a full vehicle
simulation. Figure 1.
The Subsystem Browser allows you to organize the model into
manageable subsystems to aide model management. Alternatively, it takes existing
include model management and extends it to provide representation, revision, and configuration management.
Management of subsystem connections should be controlled using Attachments.
Following the model build and assembly best practices, you use the Part Browser to go from CAD to CAE a model of subsystem. Then, you
use the Subsystem Browser to create subsystems and assemble a
system-level model.
