Copy

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifCopy the generated mesh set. The copied mesh can be used in various ways. For example, the mesh can be generated without further geometrical modeling when comparing different materials or properties on each copied element to the original element; or when the same element is uniformly placed for each construction step.

 

Methodology

Select the target mesh set and input the new position to copy all the nodes and elements of the original mesh set to the new position 1 by 1. The [Copy Prestress Option for 1D Elements] allows the user to copy the prestress force applied to 1d elements directly to the copied mesh sets thus eliminating the redundant process of applying the force again and again.
