Assuming you have the appropriate license (e.g., or 3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA ), here is the workflow for a classic tire/rim simulation.
| Feature | Benefit | |---------|---------| | | Faster execution, lower memory usage | | Unattended operation | Can run overnight or on remote servers | | Error handling | Scripts can log errors without popups | | Licensing | May use batch or token-based licenses (not interactive seats) | nipactivity catia
