Managing element-associated data

You can use the spreadsheet-like interface in the Element Associated Data Manager dialog box to manage and modify the associated data for all the different types of elements in your model.

• Each tab lists the properties for a separate element type, such as Shells, Beams, and Lumped Mass elements. The element types included in this dialog box depend on the solver environment for the FEM file.

• You can select elements before you open the Element Associated Data Manager dialog box, or you can use the Select Object option on each tab in the dialog box to select the elements to modify.

• The software uses shading to indicate the properties that you can edit. Gray indicates that you cannot edit a cell. White indicates that you can edit a cell.Number of Nodes****Dependent DOF2(You cannot edit this value.)DOF1(You can edit this value.)

• The software validates the data that you enter. If you enter a value in an incorrect format, for example if you enter a string in a cell that requires an integer, or if you specify a redundant value, the software highlights the cell in red and disables the OK and Apply buttons until you correct the data.
