General

[General]

• Application : Specify the user name, company name, temporary file folder, file save interval, etc.

• License : Authorize the program license. The Stand Alone (USB Hard lock) method and the Web Authorization method are supported.

• Unit system : Specify the force/length/time unit system used for analysis. Use the Unit converter at the bottom right to convert the units before or after analysis.  

[Graphic]

• Work View : Set the options for the screen.

- The mouse operation can be used to fit the utilized 3D CAD wheel operation.

- The Smoothing Surface Rendering method regulates the edge line tessellation of a cylinder shaped curved surface. The available levels are from 1 to 5, with a higher quality and smoother surface as the level gets higher.

- The Shape of the Dynamic View is the option for the displayed modeling shape on the work window during view rotation.

• Selection : Specify the options for the model part.

• Guider : Specify the options for the screen guider.

• Geometry shape : Specify the color for each geometry shape type.

• Element : Specify the color for each element type.

• Advanced : Adjust the advanced options for the graphic setting. It determines whether to show the shadow and controls its shade. The available levels are from 1 to 5, with darker information shown as the level gets higher.

Geometry/Mesh/Connect

[Geometry]

• Common : Adjust the options used on all geometry shapes.

• Import : Set the import option.

[Mesh Set]

• Common : Adjust the basic options used on  the mesh feature.

• Size Control : Adjust the color of the symbol shown when the seed function is used.

Load/Boundary Condition

[Coordinate system] : Specify the color of the coordinate system symbol. Symbol 1, Symbol 2, and Symbol 3 represent the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis respectively.

[Mesh] : Specify the size of the node and element number.

[Static load] : Specify the size and color of the static load symbol.

[Dynamic load] : Specify the size and color of the dynamic load symbol.

[Boundary condition] : Specify the color of the boundary condition symbol..

[Result]

• General : Input an analysis result that is extremely small and can be considered as 0. The default value is set as 1e-12, and results lower than this value is considered as 0.

• Contour : Determine the various settings for contour representation of analysis results.

• Vector : Display results that are represented with a (V) using vectors. Here, specify how to represent the vectors.  

• Deform : Specify the basic settings for checking the deformed shape of analysis results.

• No result entity : Specify how to represent the no result entities when displaying analysis results.

• Diagram : Determine the basic settings for diagrams.

• Graph : Select/Deselect display of graphs, the user has the option of checking Norm Graphs (Work/Load/Displacement VS Iteration) & SRM Graphs.

• Animation : Specify the location in which the animation image types and files are saved.

• Legend : Specify the background color and number of result bands displayed on the screen.

• Analysis Results: Select/deselect the results which the user does not want to check, this saves the total computation time and also the storage space required for running a model.
