Assembly Label Manager dialog box

Type
Offset type list Specifies how automatic label offsets are applied to different labeled entities:Same Offsets in Component — For each component, the offset is the same for nodes, elements, coordinate systems, physical properties, groups, and plies. The software calculates the highest-needed offset and applies it uniformly to all offsets within the component. The nodes, elements, coordinate systems, physical properties, groups, and plies start with the same ID number in each component. One value is used for Offset to Nearest. Same Nearest Value for All — For each component, the offset is calculated independently for nodes, elements, coordinate systems, physical properties, groups, and plies. One value is used for Offset to Nearest. Separate Nearest Value for All — Lets you specify different Offset to Nearest values for nodes, elements, coordinate systems, physical properties, groups, and plies. For each component, the offset is calculated independently for nodes, elements, coordinate systems, physical properties, groups, and plies.
Automatic Label Resolution
Entities Indicates the entities to which you want to apply the offsets.
For each offset, you can select an order of magnitude from 1–100000. For example, If your assembly FEM has three components that each use labels in the range between 1 and 30, when you select 100 as the Offset to Nearest the three components receive offsets of 100, 200, and 300.
Offset to Nearest Appears when the offset type is Same Offsets in Component or Same Nearest Value for All.Applies the specified offset to nodes, elements, coordinate systems, physical properties, groups, and plies.
Node Offset to Nearest Appears when the offset type is Separate Nearest Value for All. Applies the specified offset to nodes only.
Element Offset to Nearest Appears when the offset type is Separate Nearest Value for All. Applies the specified offset to elements only.
CSYS Offset to Nearest Appears when the offset type is Separate Nearest Value for All. Applies the specified offset to coordinate systems only.
PID Offset to Nearest Appears when the offset type is Separate Nearest Value for All. Applies the specified offset to physical property IDs only.
Group Offset to Nearest Appears when the offset type is Separate Nearest Value for All. Applies the specified offset to groups only.
Ply Offset to Nearest Appears when the offset type is Separate Nearest Value for All. Applies the specified offset to plies only.
Additional Top Offset Applies an additional offset in addition to the automatically resolved offset. This is useful to ensure a minimum range of unused labels if you intend to edit your solver input file manually.
Automatically Resolve Automatically resolves node, element, and coordinate system labels, using the specified offset type and value.
Labels
The following options appear on the Nodes, Elements, Coordinate Systems, Physical Properties, Groups, Plies, and Modeling Objects tabs.
Component Displays each component FEM name.
Range Displays the range of entity labels for each component FEM. Click each tab to view the label range for each entity type.
Offset Displays the current offset applied to the entity labels. To edit the offset manually, click in the Offset cell in the table and enter a new value. Click each tab to view the label range for each entity type.Click the Nodes, Elements, Coordinate Systems, Physical Properties, Groups, Plies, and Modeling Objects tabs to edit offsets for each entity type.
Offset Range Displays the range of entity labels for each component FEM after the offset is applied. Click the Nodes, Elements, Coordinate Systems, Physical Properties, Groups, Plies, and Modeling Objects tabs to view the label range for each entity type.
Status Indicates whether any label conflicts exist for each component FEM.Valid indicates that no label in this component FEM conflicts with other components.Conflict indicates that this component FEM has an offset range for its labels that overlaps with the offset range of other component FEM files in the assembly FEM.Internal Conflict indicates that component FEM files in this subassembly FEM have labels that conflict with each other. You can use the Assembly Label Manager command in the context of the subassembly FEM to resolve these conflicts.
