Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a way to access regions of the replicate part to modify node/element/surface sets?

Not directly. You have two options:

Option 1. Encapsulate the part into a separate file. Do not have an endpart in this file. In your main file:

a. Include the encapsulated file using the include command.

b. Use the lct and lrep command to transform the part with just one transformation.

c. Issue and additional commands unique to this instance of the part.

d. Then end the part.

Repeat a thru d for each instance of the replication.

Option 2. Use the set commands and/or the interactive set feature in the Pick Panel of the environment window to create node, face, or element sets. Then assign conditions/properties to these sets. Note that this is not parametric. If you change the mesh, you will have to remake the sets (sometimes).
