Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based
format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing
parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Using the Static Event tool, you can setup a linear static
loadcase to solve and understand Squeak and Rattle issues.
From Setup group, select Static
Event from selection list.
A guide bar opens.
Select node(s) where the load should be applied to in the graphics area.
Use the Load Type drop-down menu on the microdialog to select the required load type.
Select Load Direction(s).
Enter the load amplitude.
Click .
This creates a Static event loadcase at the selected node
and all the relevant cards are created and listed in the model browser
automatically.

Description of Static loadcase options.
Below are the various options available for static loadcase setup.
Microdialog
Load Type
Displacement
Acceleration
Force
Pressure
Entity Type
Displacement, Acceleration and Force can be applied on node(s).
Pressure can be applied on element(s).
Amplitude
Amplitude of the selected load type.
Load Direction(s)
X
Y
Z
Note: When more than one load direction is created
at the same time, SnRD will automatically
create one Loadcase for each direction and one with all directions
combined. Example: Applying a load on one node in three directions
at the same time will create four loadcases.
