The Objects to Analyze - Stresses table lists all objects in the model that are suitable for the analysis, sorted by 'Object Type': members, member sets, surfaces, surface sets, solids, solid sets, and line welded joints.
Select Objects
The 'Analyze all' check box allows you to easily select all available objects. Thus, the input options in the 'Selected Objects' column are locked and all numbers of the objects of a type are automatically preset; for example, all members.
If you want to specify only certain objects for the stress analysis, clear the 'Analyze all' check box. Now, you can enter the numbers of the relevant objects in the 'Selected Objects' column.
To select the objects graphically in the work window, click in the cell and use the button
.
Remove objects from analysis
If you want to exclude certain objects from the stress analysis, leave the selected check box 'Analyze all' selected. In the 'Removed from Analysis' column, enter the numbers of the irrelevant objects. The entries in the column 'To Be Analyzed' will then be adjusted accordingly.
Not Valid or Deactivated Objects
The columns 'To Be Analyzed' and 'Not Valid/Deactivated' are filled in automatically. Thus, all members of a type that does not suit the stress analysis are detected and deactivated for the analysis.
