Selecting the superelement creation database (Simcenter Samcef)

When you edit the FE Model Component Representation of the component FEM and replace this FEM with a Simcenter Samcef superelement representation, you must select the superelement *.sdb Simcenter Samcef creation database file that you want to use.

In the Superelement file group, in the Infers Relative Path field, you can type a path and file name or you can click Browse to browse to the location of this database.

If the superelement you refer to has been modified, you can Reload the modified database so that the changes propagate to your system model.
