Drawing a Model   

User Defined Model (UDM) for ANSYS WB Integration

A User Defined Model (UDM) is collection of externally defined parts imported into an ANSYS EM 3D Modeler.

• UDM includes part attributes (like name, color etc) and material assignment

• UDM can also have external coordinate systems and corresponding planes

• UDM parts can be parameterized and manipulated in ANSYS EM modeler just like any other part

UDM can either represent Static geometry models or

• Dynamic links to models of external geometry editors

• Used for supporting CAD integration in WorkBench

UDM uses same plugin technology as User Defined Part (UDP)
