The following list describes the attributes of an
Abaqus/CAE
model:
-
Description. If you have many similar models in a model database, you
can use the description to distinguish between the models. The description that
you enter is stored with the model attributes; the description is written above
the header of the input file but is not written to the output database. For
more information, see
Adding descriptions to your Abaqus/CAE model.
-
Type. You can choose between a Standard &
Explicit model (the default) or an
Electromagnetic model. Once you select a model type,
Abaqus/CAE
filters the set of options available in the main menu bar, toolboxes, and
Model Tree
so that they are appropriate to your model type selection.
-
Physical constants for the model. You can enter values for the
Absolute zero temperature and the
Stefan-Boltzmann constant. These values are needed to
specify surface emissivity and radiation conditions in heat transfer analyses.
You can also enter a value for the Universal gas
constant, and you can choose an option from the Specify
acoustic wave formulation list.
-
Restart information that will start the analysis using data from a
previous analysis. You can specify the following:
-
The name of the job from which
Abaqus/CAE
will read the restart information.
-
The name of the step from which
Abaqus/CAE
will restart the analysis.
-
The increment or the interval of the step from which
Abaqus/CAE
will restart the analysis.
For more information, see
Restarting an analysis
and
Restarting an Analysis.
-
Submodel information that will be used to drive submodel boundary
conditions or loads in the model. You can specify the following:
For more information, see
Submodeling.
-
Model instance information. You can control whether constraints,
connector section assignments, and surface-to-surface contact and self-contact
interactions defined in the initial step will be copied to the current working
model when you create model instances from this model. For more information,
see
Working with model instances.
Select from the main menu bar to edit
the attributes of the selected model.
