Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Collectors and Collected Entities
Collectors are named organizational containers for collected entities. Collected entities are nameless entities which must reside within one, and only one, collector. Collected entities are mutually exclusive to a collector.

- Collectors and Collected Entities
  Collectors are named organizational containers for collected entities. Collected entities are nameless entities which must reside within one, and only one, collector. Collected entities are mutually exclusive to a collector.
  - Include Files and SolverSubmodels
  - Assemblies
    Assemblies collect and organize sub-assemblies and components into hierarchical data structures which are intended to reflect the data structure of the product being modeled.
  - Components and Geometric/FE Entities
  - Load Collectors, Loads and Equations
    - Load Collectors
      Load collectors collect and organize loads, constraints, and equations.
    - Loads
      Load management and configuration.
    - Equations
      Equation entities contain mathematical equations that define more complex loads. They are used to define linear constraints in local and global coordinate systems.
  - Part Assemblies and Parts
  - System Collectors and Systems
  - Vector Collectors and Vectors
  - Beamsection Collectors and Beamsection
  - Bags
    Bags collect and organize entities.
  - Multibodies
    Multibodies collect and organize ellipsoids, multibody planes, and multibody joints and are typically used in multi-body analysis.
- Named Entities
  Entities which are given a name but are not collected or organized into containers.
- Morphing Entities
  Entities used for morphing the shape of FE model.
- Optimization Entities
  Entities used to set up optimization problems.
- Control Cards
  Control card entities create solver control cards such as results file I/O options, CPU and memory limits, and others.
- Undefined Entities
  Undefined entities are entities that will not be written to the solver deck.
- Solver Encryption Entities
  The encryption of solver entities is used to translate entity data into an undisclosed language.
- Element Property and Material Assignment Rules
  Element property and material assignment rules are based on the current user profile (solver interface).
- Supported Cards
  Supported cards organized by solver.
