Boundary Conditions
Boundary conditions available for SimSolid Cloud.
- Constraints
  Restrict or limit movement in specific regions of the model.
- Pressure Load
  Apply positive pressure towards a face or negative pressure outwards from a face.
- Force/Displacement
  Apply a total force to selected part faces or spots.
- Gravity Load
  Apply a uniformly distributed body load over the volumes of parts of an assembly.
- Remote Load
  Apply distributed loads (tractions) to faces and/or spots that are statistically equivalent to a load applied on a single point.
- Bearing Load
  Apply sinusoidal varying pressure loads to faces of revolution.
- Bolt and Nut Tightening Loads
  Bolt forces can be applied to bolt and nut geometries in SimSolid.
- Inertia Loads
  An inertia load is a body load uniformly distributed over the volumes of the parts in an assembly.
- Distributed Mass
  Apply distributed mass across select faces.
- Hydrostatic Pressure
  Define pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium.
- Thermal Load
  Use thermal analysis results in a structural static analysis as a thermal load.
- Temperature
  Specify a constant fixed temperature on one or more groups of part faces.
- Heat Flux
  Specify rate of heat energy transfer through a given surface per unit of time.
- Volumetric Heat
  Specify internal heat generation (heat sources) and internal heat absorption (heat sinks) in a given part volume.
- Convection
  Specify the convection coefficient and ambient temperature on a given set of faces.
Post Processing
Run analyses and view a variety of results in SimSolid Cloud.
Design Study
Design studies allow you to quickly evaluate and compare the structural performance from different design scenarios.

Temperature

Specify a constant fixed temperature on one or more groups of part faces.

On the Project Tree, open the Analysis Workbench.
Next to the Thermal analysis branch, click (Expand).
Next to Thermal conditions, click > Temperature.
In the modeling window, select one or more faces.
The faces are listed in the Temperature dialog.
Optional: Select the Add tangent faces check box.
For Temperature, specify a value and unit.
Click OK.
