Organizing boundary conditions in folders

You can create folders to manage your simulation objects, loads, and constraints. For example, for simulation objects, you can have one folder for contacts, another folder for temperatures, and so on. In the Simulation Navigator, the folders appear in the appropriate boundary condition container: Simulation Objects Container, Load Container, or Constraint Container.

If you create the simulation objects, loads, and constraints directly in their root containers, you can individually add them to or remove them from subcases or steps. You can also add top level folders into a solution step. While you can create subfolders and have multiple nesting levels of folders to better organize your boundary conditions, you can use only the top level folder in a solution step or subcase. The software adds all the folder’s contents to the subcase or step, when the folder is added.

You create new folders in one of these ways:

• Right-click the container in the Simulation Navigator and select New Folder.

• Click Folder Manager in the boundary condition dialog box. This option is available when you create or edit a boundary condition.
