- No. of modes

- SPOINT starting
- The starting ID of the spoint.
- Struct. damping

The middle section of the dialog provides analysis job related sections including the Job folder and any optional User comments. The bottom section allows you to select global analysis parameters that will be used to setup all checkout runs.
Upon clicking Create job, all model checkout jobs are created, and the Job Submission dialog opens. This dialog contains options to submit the jobs or skip the job submission step.
From the Batch Model Reduction dialog, click Assign H3D to automatically assign CMS and CDS superelement files generated to the module as representations.
