Hi,
We are able to search for all contacts with the menu which is “search contact menu”, we are also available to set all contact “adjust option” in the same menu, but after closing the search contact menu, in the main menu we are not able to switch to adjust option for all selected contacts.
It is useful to avoid non positive jacob for large simulations.
we are able to switch one by one on the main menu.
kind regards.
Deniz
The equivalent tool in Abaqus has a “Show previously created interactions and ties” option that allows you to edit multiple constraints at once:
but abaqus is a free software?
No, it’s just an example and idea to handle it in a similar way in PrePoMax.
Tank you.
Such an option is not yet implemented in PrePoMax. So your feature request is relevant and I showed how it’s handled by other software for reference (so that it could be implemented in a similar way in PrePoMax in the future).
Currently, you have to change this setting for all constraints individually or recreate them with the Search Contact Pairs tool using a different setting for adjustment. Of course, you could also export the CalculiX’s .inp file, open it in any text editor, use the Replace feature to change this setting for all constraints at once and then submit the analysis outside of PrePoMax: Using standalone CalculiX
