Boundary Conditions Menu

Lists options to setup various boundary conditions to the model.

Restriction: The menu varies depending on the user profile that is selected.

The BCs Manager tool can be used to create boundary conditions of any load collector type other than ACTIV. This tool combines required actions from several panels into one convenient tab interface, including the ability to create a boundary condition from both sets and individual nodes.

The Boundary Conditions > Contact submenu opens the Interfaces panel. Depending on the option you select, the appropriate type and card image field is automatically prefilled.

The Boundary Conditions > Rigid Wall submenu opens the Rigid Walls panel. Depending on the option you select, the appropriate type and card image field is automatically prefilled.

The Boundary Conditions > Results Initializer submenu opens the Process Manager tab for running the Results Initializer.
