15. The Interaction module

You can use the Interaction module to define and manage the following objects:

  • Mechanical and thermal interactions between regions of a model or between a region of a model and its surroundings.

  • Analysis constraints between regions of a model.

  • Assembly-level wire features, connector sections, and connector section assignments to model connectors.

  • Inertia (point mass, rotary inertia, and heat capacitance) on regions of the model.

  • Cracks on regions of the model.

  • Springs and dashpots between two points of a model or between a point of a model and ground.
