User Model

The User Model Component allows you to add a model from a library that has been purchased, or developed in-house, to your geometry. There is no limit to the number of ports you may use for a User Model Component.

If the model contains parameters, you may open the Model Parameters dialog box by clicking on the Parameters button in the Component Properties dialog box. This dialog box allows you to define the values of the parameters in the User Model Component. You may enter a fixed value or use a variable defined in the main project as the value of the parameter(s). When a variable is assigned as a value, any change in the variable in the main project also changes the value of the parameter in the Component project.

You add a User Model component by selecting the command Insert ⇒ Component ⇒ User Model. This command opens the Components Properties dialog box.

Modelithics models are presently the only supported vendor, although it is possible to create custom models. If you are interested in doing so, please contact your Sonnet Software representative for details.

NOTE: Use of the Modelithics models requires a Modelithics license, which must be purchased separately from Modelithics, Inc., in addition to your Sonnet license.
