Once this option is selected, a dialog for the definition of structure analysis types and their parameters will open.
Menu: Analysis > Analysis Types... command
This option is also available in the toolbar (standard):
See also: Analysis types
Activating this command begins the structure analysis.
Menu: Analysis > Calculations command
This option is also available in the toolbar (standard):
The option has been designed for great structure models in case of which large resources are required to obtain results. An important characteristic of this option is the possibility to prepare results earlier; it may be done in a time when work with the program does not require an intensive use of the processor and memory.
Menu: Analysis > Prepare Results... command
This option allows saving the square combinations on request, without the necessity to run the seismic analysis calculations again.
Menu: Analysis > Save Seismic Combinations Results... command
This option is used restart calculations of the selected cases preserving the results for the previously calculated cases. This option is available after performing complete calculations, when the status of results (visible in the top taskbar of the program) looks as follows: FEM results: current.
Menu: Analysis > Calculations Restart... command
Opens the system text editor containing the structure calculations simplified note.
Menu: Analysis > Calculation report > Simplified Note command
Opens the system text editor containing the structure calculations full note.
Menu: Analysis > Calculation report > Full Note command
This option allows for structure verification.
Menu: Analysis > Verification... command
Once this option is selected, parameters for the mesh will be defined. The parameters must be defined before the meshing.
Menu: Analysis > Meshing > Meshing Options... command
This option is also available in the toolbar (ES grid generation options):
Selecting this option results in restoring the default options (determined in the Job Preferences) of mesh generation for surface finite elements.
Menu: Analysis > Meshing > Default Options command
Selecting the command allows you to define characteristic points of a finite element mesh that are used while generating mesh by means of Coons' method.
Menu: Analysis > Meshing > Base Mesh Points... command
This option is also available in the toolbar (ES grid generation options):
See also: Base mesh points
This option allows for defining emitters (points around which the mesh of the surface finite elements will be refined).
Menu: Analysis > Meshing > Emitters... command
This option is also available in the toolbar (ES grid generation options):
See also: Emitters
Selecting this option results in freezing the mesh hitherto generated for finite elements. When the calculation model is created again, the mesh will remain unchanged (generation will be performed for panels for which a mesh of finite elements has not been created).
Menu: Analysis > Meshing > Mesh Freeze command
This option is also available in the toolbar (ES grid generation options):
Selecting this option results in unfreezing the mesh hitherto generated for finite elements. When a new calculation model is created, a mesh is generated and it can be changed.
Menu: Analysis > Meshing > Mesh Unfreeze command
This option is also available in the toolbar (ES grid generation options):
Selecting this command results in generation of an FE mesh for selected panels. The mesh will not be generated for the remaining panels.
Menu: Analysis > Meshing > Local Mesh Generation command
This option is also available in the toolbar (ES grid generation options):
Selecting this command results in deleting the generated FE mesh for selected panels. The mesh will not be deleted from the remaining panels.
Menu: Analysis > Meshing > Local Mesh Deleting command
This option is also available in the toolbar (ES grid generation options):
Selecting this command results in opening the dialog where you may determine the parameters of mesh refinement.
Menu: Analysis > Meshing > Mesh Refinement... command
This option is also available in the toolbar (ES grid generation options):
Selecting this command results in opening the dialog where you may determine the parameters of mesh consolidation (transformation of triangular elements into rectangular ones).
Menu: Analysis > Meshing > Mesh Consolidation... command
This option is also available in the toolbar (ES grid generation options):
This option allows for checking the quality of the created mesh.
Menu: Analysis > Meshing > Mesh Quality... command
This option is also available in the toolbar (ES grid generation options):
If this command is selected, the program begins to generate the calculation model of a structure (finite elements).
Menu: Analysis > Generation of computational model command
This option is also available in the toolbar (ES grid generation options):
