The Model menu is categorized into sections, each focusing on particular aspects/constituents of the crash model building. The first section focuses on model constituents, components and its physical characteristics. The second section focuses on auxiliaries to define load, boundary conditions, contact, and so on, in the model. The third section focuses on reviewing and checking the model. The menu has minor modifications depending on the solver that is loaded.

Create and modify assemblies, which are collections of component and multibody collectors or other assemblies.

Box

Create and modify a block entity.

Card Editor

Select the entities that are viewed in the card image panel.

Check Elements

Verify the basic quality of your elements and to verify the geometric qualities of those elements.

Component

Create and update components.

Component Table

Interactive tabular list used to represent components with associated properties and materials.

Contact Surfaces

Create and modify contactsurf entities.

Control Cards

Set job-level, solver specific data.

Count

Obtain a count of all the entities in your database.

Curve

View and modify graphed curves in the Curve Editor.

Damping

Create, review and edit damping definitions and its card images in the model.

Delete

Delete data from a model database, preview and delete empty collectors and preview and delete unused property collectors, material collectors or curves.

Failure

Create, review and edit failure definitions and its card images in the model through property collector.

Functions
