  1. Section 18 Set Creation & Solver Interface

  2. Sets Creation Eight types of sets can be created. • Nodes – Nodes are grouped as a set. • Shell Elem – Shell elements are grouped as a set. • Solid Elem Face – The visible face of the solid elements are grouped as a set. • Solid Elem Layer – Solid elements are grouped as a set. • RBE – Rigid Bar Elements are grouped as a set

  3. Sets Creation • Analysis Coordinate – This option is used to group nodes based on a local coordinate system. It is specific for Nastran. • Membrane Element – This option is used to create membrane element sets for Abaqus. These sets can be created from volume mesh bodies. • Nastran ASET – This option is used to create Nastran ASET / ASET1

  4. Sets Creation • Node / Shell element / Solid element sets can be created from contact pairs. Contact pairs between the selected Master and Slave bodies within the specified tolerance will be found out and sets will be created. • Sets can be transferred from source to destination body based on CAD ID (or) Persistent ID.
