All rights reserved.Altair Proprietary and Confidential Information 1.SimLab gives access to design parameters exposed in CAD software and allows the definition of parameters inside SimLab that define feature modification (Regeneration), which enables the user to study the influence of design parameters on the result. 2.The group information of entities like faces and edges can also be imported into SimLab as groups which enable the user to define mesh control, loads and boundary condition. Regenerating the model will retain the group information Regeneration
