Domain-Specific Modeling

Solve structural mechanics, heat transfer, and electromagnetic problems using specific objects corresponding to each problem type

Note

Domain-specific workflows are not recommended. New features might not be compatible with these workflows. For help migrating your existing code to the unified finite element workflow, see Migration from Domain-Specific to Unified Workflow.

Model your structural, thermal, or electromagnetic problem by creating a corresponding object to store parameters of the problem. In this workflow, you can only store parameters belonging to the specified analysis type. For example, a StructuralModel object cannot store parameters corresponding to a thermal or electromagnetic problem, such as thermal conductivity or current density. To store all physical parameters for structural, thermal, and electromagnetic analyses, and for ease of switching between analysis types, use Unified Modeling.
