System Collectors

System collectors collect and organize systems. System collectors are created, edited, and deleted from the Model browser and are shown under the SystemCollector folder.

Systems can be organized into a system collector using the Organize panel. Every system must be organized into one, and only one, system collector and therefore are mutually exclusive to a system collector. Newly created systems are automatically organized into the current system collector.

The current system collector is shown bold in the Model browser. The current system collector can be set using the Model browser context menu on a selected system collector within the SystemCollector folder. System collectors can also be card edited using the Model browser context menu on selected system collectors.

System collectors have a display state, on or off, which control the display of all systems organized within the system collector in the graphics area. The display state of a system collector can be controlled using the icons next to the system collector in the Model browser.

System collectors also have an active and export state. The active state of a system collector controls the display state of the system collector and the listing of the system collector in the Model browser and any of its views. If a system collector is active, then its display state is available to be turned on or off and it is listed in the Model browser and any of its views. If a system collector is inactive, then its display state is turned off permanently and it is not listed in the Model browser or any of its views. If a find operation "finds" an inactive system collector, that system collector will automatically be set to active.

The export state of a system collector controls whether or not that system collector and all systems organized within the system collector are exported when the custom export option is utilized. The all export option is not affected by the export state of a system collector. The active and export states of system collectors can be controlled using the Entity State browser.

Operations performed on a system collector affect systems within the system collector. For example, if you delete a system collector, the systems within the system collector are also deleted.

The data names associated with system collectors can be found in the data names section of the HyperMesh Reference Guide.

Solver Card Support for System Collectors

The supported RADIOSS cards in RADIOSS (Block Format) 100 are listed below. To create these cards, right-click in the Solver browser and select Create Cards from the context menu.

Supported Card	Solver Description	Supported Parameters	Notes
/TRANSFORM/ROT	Defines rotational transformation on the node set.
/TRANSFORM/TRA	Defines translational transformation on the node set.
/TRANSFORM/SCA	Defines scaling transformation on the node set.
/TRANSFORM/SYM	Defines symmetry transformation on the node set.

The system collector cards can be previewed, but not edited.

Supported Card	Solver Description	Supported Parameters	Notes
*DEFINE_ TRANSFORMATION	Define a transformation for the INCLUDE_TRANSFORM keyword option.	OPTION (SCALE, ROTATE, TRANSL) A1, A2, A3 Title NumDatalines	Transformations can be created using the Transformation Manager.
*INCLUDE_PATH	Defines path for the include file location		Card Edit is not available. Keyword details can be accessed from the Include file options in the Include browser.
*INCLUDE_STAMPED_PART	Attaches a file that has stamping results for a part in the model as an include file.	FILENAME PID, THICK, PSTRN, STRAIN, STRESS, INCOUT, RMAX N1S, N2S, N3S, N1C, N2C, N3C, TENSOR, THKSCL ISYM, IAFTER, PERCELE, IORTHO X01, Y01, Z01 X02, Y02, Z02, X03, Y03, Z03	Card Edit is not available. Keyword details can be accessed from the Include file options in the Include browser.
*INCLUDE_STAMPED_PART_SET	Attaches a file that has stamping results for a collection of parts (set) in the model as an include file.	FILENAME PID, THICK, PSTRN, STRAIN, STRESS, INCOUT, RMAX N1S, N2S, N3S, N1C, N2C, N3C, TENSOR, THKSCL ISYM, IAFTER, PERCELE, IORTHO X01, Y01, Z01 X02, Y02, Z02, X03, Y03, Z03	Card Edit is not available. Keyword details can be accessed from the Include file options in the Include browser.
*INCLUDE_TRANSFORM	Include file that supports offset on its content IDs and transforms on its contents.	FILENAME IDNOFF, IDEOFF, IDPOFF, IDMOFF, IDSOFF, IDFOFF, IDDOFF, IDROFF, FCTMAS, FCTTIM, FCTLEN, FCTTEM, INCOUT, TRANID	Engineering Solutions support offset on the entity ID's. During import, offsets are applied on to the ID's of the corresponding include_transform file contents. During export, offset is subtracted from the ID's. The current release only supports Input and output therefore the offsets cannot be changed.
*NODE_TRANSFORM	Transformation defined on node set	TRSID, NSID Title	Transformations can be created using the Transformation Manager.
