Previewing Simcenter Samcef solver syntax
Use the Solver Syntax Preview command to preview how a selected entity will be written out to your Simcenter Samcef input file. The software displays the syntax preview in an Information window, as shown below:
Previewing solver syntax from the FEM file
When a FEM file is the work and displayed part, you can use the Solver Syntax Preview command to preview the syntax for the following types of entities in the Simulation Navigator: coordinate Systems, groups, and regions.
To preview the syntax for materials, use the Solver Syntax Preview option in the Manage Materials dialog box.
To preview the syntax for nodes or elements, use the Node/Element Information command to display information on selected elements. This information includes a list of the nodes connected to each element.
Note:
You must select the General Listing format option.
Previewing solver syntax from the Simulation file
When a Simulation file is the work part and displayed part, within the active solution or subcase, you can use the Solver Syntax Preview command to preview the syntax for the following types of entities in the Simulation Navigator: constraints, loads, and simulation objects.
