Control Cards Panel

Use the Control Cards panel to set job-level, solver specific data.

Location: Analysis page

When the panel opens, a list of available control cards displays. The available control cards are defined in the template file.

To edit the contents of a card, simply click it and enter the necessary information in the control card. The control card editor opens as a new dialog window, but in the same location as the panel.
  • Click each blank (gray) field label to activate an entry field. Entry fields may include buttons that access pop-up menus, text or number fields, or entity selectors.
  • In the selected control card click default to return all fields to their default values
  • Click reject to clear all entries and start over
  • Click return to keep the new card, or abort to cancel without creating it.

Once a card has been edited and left by the return button it will show in green status.

The status for the card in the database is indicated by the color of the control card's button.
Gray
Card does not exist in the database.
Green
Card exists in the database.
It will be written when the a solver deck is exported from Engineering Solutions.
Red
Card exists in the database, but is disabled. In this case it will, but will not be written upon export.
