Boundary Conditions Menu
Lists options to setup various boundary conditions to the model.
The BCs Manager tool can be used to create boundary conditions of any load collector type other than ACTIV. This tool combines required actions from several panels into one convenient tab interface, including the ability to create a boundary condition from both sets and individual nodes.
The Boundary Conditions > Contact submenu opens the Interfaces panel. Depending on the option you select, the appropriate type and card image field is automatically prefilled.
The Boundary Conditions > Rigid Wall submenu opens the Rigid Walls panel. Depending on the option you select, the appropriate type and card image field is automatically prefilled.
