Laminate Dynamics

Right-click commands for Dynamic Simulation

The available commands depend on the node that you right-click in the Simulation Navigator.

Icon	Command name	Description
	Refresh	Refreshes your dynamic simulation when it is marked out-of-date. The dynamic simulation is out-of-date when you delete the parent solution results node, or resolve the parent solution and its normal modes have changed. The icon marks dynamic simulations that are out-of-date.
	Solve→Solve All	Solves all random events that are contained in the dynamic simulation.
	Solve→Write All Input Files	Generates one XML input file for each random event that is contained in the dynamic simulation. This is the input file for the laminate dynamic solver. The XML files are stored in the working folder.
	Solve→Stop All	Available while the software solves the dynamic simulation.Stops all random event solution processes from the active dynamic simulation.
	Create Random Event	Lets you create a random event. A dynamic simulation can contain multiple random events.

Icon	Command name	Description
	Activate All	Activates all normal modes. All normal modes are marked with in the Laminate Dynamics Details View subpanel. You can activate or deactivate each normal mode separately in the Laminate Dynamics Details View subpanel.
	Deactivate All	Deactivate all normal modes. All normal modes are marked with in the Laminate Dynamics Details View subpanel. You can activate or deactivate each normal mode separately in the Laminate Dynamics Details View subpanel.
	Edit All Damping Factors	Lets you edit the value for the viscous damping factor of all normal modes at the same time. You can edit the viscous damping factor for each normal mode separately from the Laminate Dynamics Details View subpanel.

Icon	Command name	Description
	Solve→Solve	Solves the selected base-driven random vibration or sine event.
	Solve→Write Input File	Generates the XML input file for the selected base-driven random or sine vibration event. The XML file is stored in the working folder.
	Solve→Stop	Available while the software solves the dynamic simulation.Stops the random or sine event solution process.
	Show Solution Log	Opens the Information window that displays the information from the file that contains output messaging from the dynamic simulation solver. Depending on whether you solve for a random event or a sine event, you see the information from one of these files: --_random.log--_sine.log
