Specification list |
All Specifications that have been defined for the model are listed here. |
Highlight Assigned Geometry | When this box is checked and you click on a specification in the Specifications dialog box, members that have been assigned the specification will appear highlighted in the structure window. For example in the previous figure, if you click on the MEMBER TRUSS specification, all truss members will be highlighted. |
Edit/Delete | Used to modify a previously assigned attribute, or delete it altogether. |
Node… | Opens the Node Specification dialog, which is used to specify rigid links or specialized linkages in the structure. |
Beam… | Opens the Member Specification dialog, which is used for specifying frame member specifications. |
Plate… | Opens the Plate Specs dialog, which is used to specify finite element specifications. |
Toggle Specification |
This is a switch setting which turns on what is called the toggle mode. In this mode, when an attribute is selected and assigned using the "Use Cursor to assign" method, the following happens.
Thus each click will result in an assign if the attribute was un-assigned, and a de-assign if the attribute was assigned. |
Assignment Method |
The options under the Assignment Method are used to assign specifications to joints, members and elements. The assignment method can be one of Assign To Selected Beams, Assign To View, Use Cursor To Assign or Assign To Edit List.
