When I create named sets and write an LS-DYNA output file, TrueGrid® must number the sets, but does it seemingly in an arbitrary way. How can I control the numbering of the named sets?
Instead of giving the set an ASCII text name, use a number for the name. For example
nset 1 2 3 4 5 6 = 5
When this set, called "5", is written to the LSDYA file, it will be assigned the set number 5 to match its name. TrueGrid® preserve the numerical names when it writes the LS-DYNA output file.
Now you might say that the name "5" is not descriptive. In that case, use a descriptive parameter. For example, if the set of nodes forms the bottom plate, you could use the parameter called "bottom_plate". You might issue the following commands:
para bottom_plate 5;
nset 1 2 3 4 5 6 = %bottom_plate
