After you run an analysis on your model, you can change the conditions under which the results were obtained. Rerun the analysis to see effects of the changes. You can edit the loads and constraints you defined, add new loads and constraints, or delete loads and constraints. To change your simulation conditions, enter the stress analysis environment if you are not already in it.
Delete a load or constraint
- In the browser, right-click a load or constraint, and then select Delete from the menu.
Add a load or constraint
- On the Stress Analysis tab, select the command and follow the same procedure you used to create your initial loads and constraints.
Edit a load or constraint
- In the browser, right-click a load or constraint, and then select Edit from the menu.
The same dialog box you used to create the load or constraint displays. The values on the dialog box are the current values for that load or constraint.
- Click the selection arrow on the left side of the dialog box to enable feature picking.
You are initially limited to selecting the same type of feature (face, edge, or vertex) that is currently used for the load or constraint.
To remove any of the current features, CTRL-click them. If you remove all of the current features, your new selections can be of any type.
- Click the Direction Selection arrow to specify the change of direction using model geometry.
- Click Flip Direction
to reverse the direction, if needed. - Change any values associated with the load or constraint.
- Click OK to apply the load or constraint changes.
Hide a load symbol
-
On the ribbon, click
Stress Analysis tab
Display panel
Boundary Conditions
.The load symbols are hidden.
Redisplay a load symbol
- On the Stress Analysis tab, click Boundary Conditions again.
The load symbols redisplay.
Temporarily display load location
- In the browser, pause the cursor over the Load or Constraint node. The associated face where the load or constraint is applied highlights.
Change the analysis type
- In the browser, right-click the simulation and click Edit Simulation Properties.
- On the Simulation Properties dialog box, Simulation Type tab, select the new analysis type.
