Entity Editor
Display the attributes for the subsystem if selected. Edits can be made to single subsystem selections only.
Entities
Entities have two modes: All or Non-Zero only. When set to All, entities are listed where the entities themselves are not visible in the browser. For example, loads are displayed because the Model Browser only shows load collectors.
When set to All, nodes, elements, loads, systems, vectors, and beam sections are displayed.
When set to Non-Zero (the default), entities that make up the model are displayed. Each of these entities can be selected in the Entity Editor. Open the panels with the relevant entity selected so that you can add to or remove from the selection. This updates the contents of the subsystem.
Finally, entities can also be reviewed.
Dependent Entities
- Off
- The default setting. Checking dependent entities reduces the responsiveness of the selection of subsystems in the browser.
- Missing
- Missing entities occur when the entity is not present in the subsystem but was expected to be there since the parent entity was displayed. For elements, this occurs when the element is not in the subsystem but the component is. For nodes, this occurs when the node is not in the subsystem but the element is.
- Additional
- The inverse of Missing. This occurs when the entity is in the subsystem but the parent is not. For example, the node is in the subsystem but the element is not. If all entities are organized into subsystems, an entity that is additional in one subsysstem will be missing from another.
- Shared
- Only nodes can be shared. This occurs when connected elements are organized into different subsystems. In this case, nodes are highlighted that join the two subsystems as shared since those nodes are the shared boundary between two subsystems.
All of the above can be reviewed. You can also Isolate to grab the missing entities and then use the Entities option to correct the subsystem from grabbing those missing entities.
Library and Representation Data
Library data shows the Major, Study, and Library revisions of the subsystem. It also shows the Library Name to which the representation was saved.
Representation data shows the Representation Name and the file path of the saved representation.
