Module ID
Preferences to specify Subrange for Tag Points, Spoints and Plotels. Figure 2.
Connection ID
Preferences to force IDs the numbering pattern for connectors, so that the connection
elements created after realization of the connectors fall in the defined numbering pattern.
The numbering pattern currently followed is as per a typical customer case. These values may
be entered in the NVH Preferences dialog in the Connection ID tab.
There are additional options:
To check the tagpoint coincidence during Connection Realization. This creates the
necessary elements on realization of connections based on the tagpoint coincidence
check.
To apply translational only DOFs for connection realization. This creates the elements
with properties only in translational direction for all connections.
To request for connection element force output.
Apply connection force ID.
Model Settings are stored with the model .xml file. Global Settings are stored with the preference config

Figure 4. Forcing ID's Through the Create Connection-Interactive Tool
ID's can be forced on to a connection entity using the Create Connection - Interactive
tool. If the Lock Id checkbox is activated the ID is to be locked for elems, props and mats.
If you enter any value in the entry next to it, the IDs get forced to that value. Figure 5. Forcing ID's Through the Connection Mapping Tool
In the Connection Mapping tool for connection mapping, there will be extra columns for the
Lock ID flag and starting ID value, which will be read from the .csv
file and to be mapped to the FE. Figure 6. Forcing ID's Through the Connector Browser
ID's can also be forced using the Connector Browser, where additional
columns will be added to depict the Lock ID flag and the value. Figure 7. Forcing ID's Through the Edit Connection Tab, Which is Opened by Right-Clicking on
a Connector in the Connector Browser and Selecting Edit
Connection.
