The Objects to Analyze - Stresses table lists all objects in the model that are suitable for analysis, sorted by “Object Type”: Members, member sets, surfaces, surface sets, solids, solid sets, and line welded joints.
Selecting Objects
The “Analyze All” check box allows for a simple selection of all available objects. This locks the input options in the “Selected Objects” column and automatically presets all object numbers of a type, for example, all members.
If you only want to specify certain objects for the stress analysis, deactivate the “Analyze All” check box. You can now 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.
Removing Objects from Analysis
If you want to exclude certain objects from the stress analysis, leave the “Analyze All” check box selected. Enter the numbers of the irrelevant objects in the “Removed from Analysis” column. The entries in the “To Analyze” column are then adjusted accordingly.
Not Valid or Deactivated Objects
The columns “To Analyze” and “Not Valid / Deactivated” are filled in automatically. This means that all members of a type that is not suitable for the stress analysis are recognized and deactivated for the analysis.
