Panel dialog box

Available in the Simcenter Nastran solver environment when Vibro-Acoustic is the specified analysis type.

Type
Type	Specifies the type of panel.Panel on 2D ElementsLets you select 2D structural (shell, laminate, or PLOTEL) elements or faces of 3D structural solid elements to create the panel.Panel on 2D Physical Property TablesLets you select the physical property table to create the panel. In this type, only the free wetted faces of the elements will be part of the panel.Panel on Nodes/Element FacesLets you select the nodes of element edges or faces to create the panel. In this type, the software excludes nodes that it cannot use to form elements or element faces.Note: You cannot change the Panel Type after you create the panel.
Name
Name	Specifies the name of the panel.
Description	Lets you enter a description for the panel.
Destination Folder
Simulation Object Container	Lets you specify under which folder in the navigation tree the new panel will be created. The default folder is Root.
Model Objects
Appears when Type is set to Panel on 2D Elements or Panel on Nodes/Element Faces.
Group Reference	Lets you select the groups (2D elements) that contain faces of solid fluid elements to create panels.For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object	Lets you select faces of solid fluid elements to define the support for the panel.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods	Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Label
Panel Label	Sets a unique label (maximum of 8 characters) to annotate the panel-related contribution results. This label corresponds to the NAMEi field on the PANEL bulk entry.
Physical Property Tables
Appears when Type is set to Panel on 2D Physical Property Tables.
Property	Opens the Physical Property Table Manager dialog box where you can create or edit the physical property tables.
Distribution
Method	Defines how the pressure is distributed over the selected objects.ConstantDistributes the pressure as a constant value across the selected objects.A field is always mapped to global or Cartesian coordinates, even if it was defined in cylindrical or spherical coordinates.
