Why no mesh part is created when entering the workbench?
Sometimes, no mesh part is created when entering the Generative Structural Analysis workbench. You did not indicate in the Generative Shape Design workbench which geometry you want to be analyzed.

How to create a mesh part?
Sometimes, no mesh part is created when entering the
Generative Structural Analysis workbench.
For more information, refer to Entering the Generative
Structural Analysis Workbench.
You can create a mesh part in:
-
a Generative Shape Design context.
To do this, select Tools > External View commands from the menu bar in the Generative Shape Design workbench and select the geometry to be analyzed. -
an analysis context.
To do this, use the mesh creation functionalities:
How the hide/show status is managed when entering the workbench?
If you save and close a CATAnalysis file in which the Links Manager, the Finite Element Model or the Analysis Connection Manager sets have been hidden, the hidden status may be lost when you reopen the CATAnalysis file in the Generative Structural Analysis workbench:
- Whatever the hide/show status of the Finite Element Model and Analysis Connection Manager sets when you save your CATAnalysis file, those two sets have a shown status when you reopen the CATAnalysis file in the Generative Structural Analysis workbench.
- Whatever the hide/show status of the Links Manager
set when you save a CATAnalysis file:
- If this file contains at least one activated image, the Links Manager set is hidden when you reopen the CATAnalysis file in the Generative Structural Analysis workbench.
- If this file contains no activated image, the Links Manager set is shown when you reopen the CATAnalysis file in the Generative Structural Analysis workbench.
The mesh is never displayed in the Generative Structural
Analysis workbench. If you want to visualize it, you have to generate an
image.
