Change General Link Properties

 

 

Define a General Link to be applied to Boundary Change Assignment to Load Cases/Analyses, which is a function applying different Boundary Group Combinations for different load cases or analyses.

The function is used to apply each General Link for different Analysis Conditions with only one model, and applied by load case types or analysis types in the Analysis > Boundary Change Assignment to Load Cases/Analyses.

Except for General Link, boundary conditions can be activated or inactivated by load cases/analyses in the Boundary Change Assignment to Load Cases/Analyses. For this reason, General Link Property changes should be defined in the Change General Link Properties and the changes can be applied in the Boundary Change Assignment to Load Cases/Analyses.

This cannot be applicable in construction stage analysis.

The application of this function can be checked in the Model View by checking Change General Link of Display > Boundary.
