Node and element components or assemblies from components in ANSYS®
are defined as follows:
CM, Cname, Entity
CMGRP, Aname, Cnam1, Cnam2, Cnam3, Cnam4, Cnam5, Cnam6,
Cnam7, Cnam8
CMBLOCK,Cname,Entity,NUMITEMS
These components or assemblies are treated in SIMULIA Tosca Structure
as node or element groups. These groups are loaded from the ANSYS®
input file during the optimization preprocessing and these groups are
available for further definition in the parameter file along with the
groups ALL_NODES
and ALL_ELEMENTS
.
If components containing nodes and elements have identical names in
the ANSYS®
input file, the endings _NODE
and _ELEM
are added to the specified group name during importation. This guarantees
that the group can be identically identified by SIMULIA Tosca Structure.
