Select the point to assign the Non-consolidation boundary conditions.
The target can be selected from [Element], [2D Element], [3D Element], [Face], [Part].
Selecting [Face] or [Part] applies the unconsolidated boundary conditions for all elements in the geometry shape.
Boundary Set
Register the set constraint conditions on the desired boundary set. The user can specify the name of the boundary set.

In Consolidation analysis, the elements have an additional pore pressure degree of freedom, as well as displacement degree of freedom, at the nodes. FEA NX assumes all elements have a degree of freedom for pore pressure, unless the two boundary conditions (Non-consolidating condition, Drainage condition) are specified for consolidation analysis. Hence, for embankment materials that do not express consolidated behavior directly, the non-consolidating element conditions need to be defined to apply it as a general structural element. Also, the drainage conditions need to be defined for drainage boundaries in consolidating elements. If the boundary conditions are properly defined and consolidation analysis is conducted, the excess pore pressure is 0 (zero) where the non-consolidation conditions and drainage conditions are applied.

Used to model non-consolidation layers. Non-consolidation elements are used as boundary conditions for Consolidation analysis.
