Solid Properties Check dialog box

Elements
Select Elements	Lets you select the elements to check.
Element Labels	Lets you add elements to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of element labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the element labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of element labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add element labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add element labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add element labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Element Selection .
Reference CSYS
Specify CSYS	Lets you specify the coordinate system in which the software should report the model's solid properties and center of gravity.Click CSYS Dialog to use the CSYS dialog box to create the coordinate system. See CSYS dialog box in the Help for more information.Click to choose a coordinate system command to create the coordinate system.
Evaluation Temperature
Use Default Temperature	Specifies which value for mass density is used to calculate the model's solid properties.Use Default Temperature The software calculates solid properties of each element as follows:If the nominal value for mass density is greater than 0.0, the nominal value of mass density is used.If a nominal value is not defined or is 0.0 and a temperature-dependent mass density is defined, the solid properties are calculated using temperature-dependent mass density evaluated at Temperature (TREF).If a nominal value is not defined or is 0.0 and a temperature dependent mass density is not defined, the solid properties are calculated using frequency-dependent mass density evaluated at the Reference Frequency.Use Default Temperature The software calculates solid properties using the mass density of each element evaluated at a specified temperature.If the material assigned to an element does not have a temperature-dependent mass density defined, then the nominal value for mass density is used.For more information on how solid properties are calculated, see Understanding the solid property calculations.
Temperature	Lets you specify the temperature at which the software evaluates the mass density of each element to calculate the model's solid properties.The default temperature is 0.0.
Display Options
Display Center of Gravity and Principal Axes	Controls whether the software displays a graphical symbol on the model to indicate its center of gravity and principal axes about that center of gravity.
Output Options
Split Structural and Nonstructural Mass	Controls whether the software lists the structural and nonstructural mass separately.
Units	Specifies the units in which the software reports the solid properties.
Detail Report	Controls the level of detail included in the report generated by the Solid Properties Check command.Select Detail Report to have the report include listing of the elements included in the calculations along with the calculations themselves.Clear the Detail Report check box to have the report include only the calculations.
