The Structural Mechanics Module Physics Interface Guide
At any time, a new model can be created or physics interfaces added. Right-click the Root (top) node and select Add Component or right-click a Component node and select Add Physics.
Depending on the physics interface, specify parameters defining a problem on points, edges (3D), boundaries, and domains. It is possible to specify loads and constraints on all available geometry levels, but material properties can only be specified for the domains, except for shells, membranes, beams, and trusses, where they are defined on the boundary or edge level.
