Entity labels and names during export (Simcenter Samcef)

The following tables describe how labels and/or names of entities are exported to a Simcenter Samcef input file.

Labels

• Csys, Nodes, Elements, Regions and Materials labels are exported.

• Physical properties and Fields labels are not exported.

Names

Many Simcenter Samcef entities either cannot be named or only have an optional name tag. Depending on the target Samcef command, the software uses names to define the Samcef entities, or the software exports the Samcef entities as comments.
