Resolve label conflicts in your Simulation file

Resolve label conflicts automatically

  1. In the Simulation Navigator, right-click the Simulation file node and choose Simulation Label Manager.

  2. In the Labels group, examine the current status of the Simulation file labels by clicking the Coordinate Systems, Physical Properties, and Groups tabs to view label status for each entity type.Conflict appears in the Status column if the range of labels used for the Simulation file overlaps the range used by the associated FEM.

  3. From the Type list, select an offset type:Same Offsets in Simulation — The offset is the same for coordinate systems, physical properties, and groups. The software calculates the highest-needed offset and applies it uniformly to all offsets within the Simulation file. One value is used for Offset to Nearest. Same Nearest Value for All — The offset is calculated independently for coordinate systems, physical properties, and groups. One value is used for Offset to Nearest. Separate Nearest Value for All — Lets you specify different Offset to Nearest values for coordinate systems, physical properties, and groups. Compress Labels — The labels for coordinate systems, physical properties, and groups in the Simulation file are renumbered, starting with the next integer available above the label range of the associated FEM. The automatic label resolution action is applied immediately when you select this option.

  4. For all offset types except Compress Labels, specify a nearest offset value by selecting an order of magnitude from 1–100000.For example, if the Simulation file and the FEM file both have a label range of 1–250, and you specify a nearest offset value of 100, an offset of 300 is applied to the Simulation file. If you specify a nearest offset of 10, an offset of 260 is applied to the Simulation file.

  5. Click Automatically Resolve .The specified offsets are applied, and the status of the Simulation file changes to Valid .

  6. Click OK.

Note:

For assembly FEMs, Internal Conflict appears on the assembly FEM line if component FEMs in this assembly FEM have conflicting labels. You can use the Assembly Label Manager command in the context of the assembly FEM to resolve these conflicts. You should resolve assembly label conflicts before resolving the simulation label conflicts. Resolving the assembly label conflicts may create new simulation label conflicts.

Resolve label conflicts manually

  1. In the Simulation Navigator, right-click the Simulation file node and choose Simulation Label Manager.

  2. In the Labels group, examine the current status of the Simulation file labels by clicking the Coordinate Systems, Physical Properties, and Groups tabs to view label status for each entity type.The Simulation file is marked as Conflict if the range of labels used for the Simulation file overlaps the range used by the associated FEM.

  3. On the Coordinate Systems tab, do the following:Click twice in the Offset cell for the Simulation file and enter an offset value.Press Enter or click Apply to update the table.

  4. Repeat the previous step as needed for the Physical Properties tab and the Groups tab.

  5. When you are satisfied with the defined offsets, click OK.
