This feature is useful when changing the properties (material) of a particular element in a model and conducting the analysis to compare results. The notable example is the Ko parameter analysis. For example, when conducting the tunnel excavation construction step analysis, comparing the analysis results by changing the coefficient of earth pressure (Ko) value as 0.5, 1, 1.5 in stages, the model is not separated and only the property is added for analysis. Changing various conditions, not only ground materials but also structural characteristics (section characteristics), is possible for iterative calculations and all outcomes can be compared at once.
▒Methodology
First, select the base analysis case. Automatically create the parametric analysis case by assigning the changed characteristic conditions below.
Select the target mesh set and select the target property change (current properties of the selected element) and changed property sequentially. Select the Add/Edit button to create a parametric analysis case. It is good to add properties in advance to the parameters for the change property setting.
