Step 1 Begin a New Model
In this Step, the basic grid that will serve as a template for developing the model will be
defined.
A. Click the File menu > New Model command or the New Model button . The
form shown in Fig. 3 will display. Verify that the default units are set to KN, m, C.
B. The New Model form
allows for the quick
generation of numerous
model types using
parametric generation
techniques. However, in
this tutorial the model will
be started using only the
grid generation. When
laying out the grid, it is
important that the geometry
defined accurately represents
the major geometrical aspects of the model, so it is advisable to spend time
carefully planning the number and spacing of the grid lines. Select the Grid Only
button, and the form shown in Fig. 4 will display.
C. The Quick Grid Lines form (Fig. 4) is used to specify the grids and spacing in the
X, Y and Z directions. Set the number of grid lines to 4 in the X and Y direction,
and to 6 in the Z directions. Type 5, 3, 3.1 into X, Y, Z directions spacing edit
boxes respectively. The values specified in the First Grid Line Location area
locate the origin of the grid lines; make sure that these values are all set to zero
for this tutorial. Click the OK button to continue.
1. Click the Define menu > Coordinate Systems/Grids command. The
Coordinate/Grid Systems form will display. Make sure that the Systems
item on the Coordinate/Grid Systems form has Global highlighted and
