Graphic Entity Attributes

Sets options for graphic entities.

Run Solver

Submits a solver run.

Entity Selector

Sets the graphic screen selection mode.

System/Assembly

Allows you to create and save systems/assemblies, to modify system/assembly attachments, and to set system options and initial conditions.

Analysis

Allows you to create and save an analysis, to modify analysis attachments, and to set analysis options and initial conditions.

Command Sets

Allows you to create command sets for the solver-command file.  The command sets for a model are order dependent since they define the contents of the solver command file.

Points

Allows you to create points and to edit point coordinates.

Bodies

Allows you to edit the mass properties, orientation rules, and initial conditions for bodies.

Vectors

Allows you to create vectors and to edit vector components.

Markers

Allows you to create markers and to edit location and orientation rules for markers.

Curves

Allows you to create and edit curves.  Curves hold x-y data for nonlinear properties.  This panel has similar options as the Define Curves panel in HyperGraph.

Spline3D

Allows you to add and edit three dimensional spline data.

Graphics

Allows you to change the graphical attributes of entities in your model.  Graphical attributes include color, state, and rendering method.

Surfaces

Allows you to create surfaces for use with advanced joint entities.

Deformable Curves

Allows you to create and edit deformable curves. These curves can change their shape during the simulation and can be used with advanced joints and contacts.

Deformable Surfaces

Allows you to create and edit deformable surfaces. These entities can change shape during the simulation and can be used with advanced joints and contacts.

Joints

Allows you to edit properties, connectivity, orientation rules, and initial conditions for joints.

Motions

Allows you to create motions and to edit the initial conditions, displacements, velocities, and acceleration of joints.

Couplers

Allows you to edit joint couplers.

Gears

Allows you to create a gear entity to relate the motion of two joints.

Advanced Joints

Allows you to create a set of joints where points, curves and surfaces stay in contact throughout the simulation.

Forces

Allows you to create forces and to edit the orientation and properties of forces.

Modal Forces

Allows you to create modal forces and to edit the orientation and properties of forces.

Bushings

Allows you to edit the orientation, connectivity, stiffness, damping, and preloads of bushings.

Fields

Allows you to create and edit fields to relate forces between two bodies.

Spring Dampers

Allows you to edit the connectivity, properties, and initial conditions of springs and dampers.

Beams

Allows you to edit the connectivity, properties, and orientations of beams.

Polybeams

Allows you to edit the connectivity, properties, and points of a polybeam.

Contacts

Allows you to set contact data.

Solver Variables

Allows you to set solver variable data.

Solver Arrays

Allows you to set solver array data.

Solver Strings

Allows you to set solver string data.

Solver Differential Equations

Allows you to set solver differential equations.

Control SISOs

Allows you to set control entity data.

Sensors

Allows you to create and edit a sensor entity to modify the solver behavior during simulation.

Control State Equations

Allows you to set control state equations.

Outputs

Allows you to create and edit output and requests such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force.

Datasets

Allows you to access user-defined datasets.

Templates

Allows you to insert segments of text into your model.

Forms

Allows you to edit data stored in user-defined panels.
