Create Solid Element Idealization

For this simulation, we’ll apply solid elements to our bracket. To do so, we’ll create a new solid type idealization.

  1. Copy the following text:
    strCmdForNewIdealization = "<NewIdealization Name=""Solid 1"" ID=""1"" Type=""2"" AddToFEModel=""1"" Color=""11087083"" CoodinateSystemID=""0"" MaterialID=""1"" EntitiesCount=""0""/>"

    Type = 2 denotes the use of solid elements.

    These commands are equivalent to defining the idealization through the user interface.

  2. Paste the text below the existing commands in the Edit Rule dialog.
  3. Press the Enter or Return key twice to jump down to a new line.
