The Solver Options button opens a dialog with the different options available. The
contents of the dialog vary according to the user profile you have selected.
LS-DYNA
The dialog presents options that allows you to determine whether to read these
keywords from the solver deck into Engineering Solutions.
INITIAL_STRESS_SHELL
*INITIAL_STRAIN_SHELL
By default they are automatically read for Engineering Solutions. Figure 1.
Nastran
When importing an FE model and the By HM Comment option is selected but no HM comment
cards exist, Nastran users can specify a ratio to be
considered when importing Engineering Solutions
entities. On import, Engineering Solutions will
calculate the ratio of the number of elements to the number of properties.
If the calculated ratio is less than the specified ratio, all the elements
are put into one component.
If the calculated ratio is greater than the specified ratio, one component
is created for each property.

OptiStruct
When importing an FE model and the By HM Comment option is selected but no HM comment
cards exist, OptiStruct users can specify a ratio to be
considered when importing Engineering Solutions
entities. On import, Engineering Solutions will
calculate the ratio of the number of elements to the number of properties.
If the calculated ratio is less than the specified ratio, all the elements
are put into one component.
If the calculated ratio is greater than the specified ratio, one component
is created for each property.
