Override a physical property table definition

When the FEM file is active, you can create physical property tables and apply them to mesh collectors. When the Simulation file is active, you can create physical property tables and use them to override the physical properties that were defined for the mesh collectors. The overrides give you the flexibility to apply unique physical property tables for a Simulation file.

1. With the Simulation file active in the Simulation Navigator, right-click a mesh collector name and select Edit Attribute Overrides.

2. In the Override Mesh Collector Attributes dialog box, click and select Apply Override.

3. Select the physical property table type from the Type list.The available physical property table types depend on the solver type and element type. Note: For lists of supported physical property tables for various solver types, see Supported elements and properties.

4. Select the physical property table name from the Name list. Alternately, click Create Physical and enter values to create a new physical property table.

5. (Optional) Select and modify other properties that are listed in the dialog box.

6. When finished, click OK.
