Boundary Conditions Menu

The following boundary condition tools are available:
Auto-Contact
Quickly and easily create one or more contact interfaces at once between several parts of your model. This tool is only available when the OptiStruct user profile is loaded.
Card Editor
Select the entities that are viewed in the card image subpanel.
Constraints
Place constraints or enforced displacements on a model.
Contact Surfaces
Create and modify contactsurf entities.
Contour Loads Utility
Create contour plots of applied loads and boundary conditions contained within load collectors.
Delete
Delete data from a model database, preview and delete empty collectors and preview and delete unused property collectors, material collectors, or curves.
Equations
Create, review and update equations.
Flux
Apply concentrated fluxes to your model.
Forces
Create concentrated forces.
Interfaces
Create and modify interfaces.
Line Loads
Allows total loads (forces and moments) to be applied in a distributed manner on nodes even though the load is applied on geometry lines or set of nodes forming ordered edges.
Loads on Geom
Map loads or boundary conditions from geometrical entities (loads on geometry) to the associated FE mesh entities (loads on mesh).
Loads Summation
Creates a summary of the loads (node-based forces or moments and element-based pressures) applied to a model.
Moments
Create concentrated moments.
Organize
Allows you to (re)organize your database by copying or moving data (entities) among collectors or includes.
Pressures
Create concentrated pressures.
Renumber
Renumber entities.
Systems
Create rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems.
Temperatures
Create temperature constraints.
