  • Element type – Identifies the type of element. Options are:
  • Triangle or quadrilateral
  • Linear or quadratic
  • Element connectivity
  • Global parameters – Sets the model name, units, state, time units, time steps, and other parameters. Also manages parameter groups and dependencies.
  • Boundary conditions – Defines boundary conditions display options, values, dependencies, defaults, parameter group assignment, etc....
  • Nodal boundary conditions
  • Nodestring boundary conditions
