Templates that you can use to count elements or categorize properties are called summary templates. These templates do not create solver input, but are used to gain a quick overview of a model or to find specific solver-related information about a model.
Summary template functions include:
| • | Calculating the center of gravity |
| • | Listing components associated with materials |
| • | Checking for errors that would cause an input deck to be rejected by a solver |
| 1. | In the Summary Template panel, click load. |
| 2. | Browse to your solver specific folder and click the name of your solver (when using a summary template for the first time, jump to step 4 thereafter). |
| 3. | Click the summary template to use and click Open. |
| 4. | Click browse and select an output file from the Save file browser to store the summary. |
| 6. | Select all or displayed to output all or only some of the contents of the deck. |
| Note: | For more information about creating and using a summary template, see the Summary panel. |
