Manage physical property tables

You can use the Physical Property Tables Manager dialog box to modify a physical property table. The software then updates all mesh collectors and their meshes that use the physical property table.

You can also modify a physical property table through the Mesh Collector dialog box.

Modify a physical property table

1. Click Physical Properties .

2. In the Physical Property Tables Manager dialog box, select the physical property table from the Selection list.

3. Click Edit .

4. In the dialog box, modify the physical property values. Click OK.Note: For lists of supported physical property tables for various solver types, see Supported elements and properties.

Modify a physical property table assigned to a mesh collector

When you modify a physical property table assigned to a mesh collector, all meshes stored in that collector inherit the changes.

1. With the FEM file active, in the Simulation Navigator, right-click a mesh collector name and choose Edit.

2. In the Physical Property group, click Edit .

3. In the dialog box, modify the physical property values. Click OK.Note: For lists of supported physical property tables for various solver types, see Supported elements and properties.

4. When finished, click OK in the Mesh Collector dialog box.

Copy a physical property table

1. Click Physical Properties .

2. In the Physical Property Tables Manager dialog box, select the physical property table from the Selection list.

3. Click Copy .

4. In the dialog box, enter a new name and modify the physical property values. Click OK.Note: For lists of supported physical property tables for various solver types, see Supported elements and properties.

Delete a physical property table

1. Click Physical Properties .

2. In the Physical Property Tables Manager dialog box, select the physical property table from the Selection list.

3. Click Delete .
