SET TYPE

Nancy Jewel Mcdonie

Hi all experts,

Can you explain for me the difference between 3 terms?

Thanks all.

Hi Nancy,

The Set Type defines the way your set have been created and the importance of the nodes.  It works as a flag.  More precisely the different formulations shown in the image you shared refer to the following descriptions:

1. non-ordered = The sequence of the entities in the set does not matter. Entities of non-ordered sets are stored internally in ascending order regardless of the order in which the entities were selected.
2. ordered = The sequence of the entities in the set is critical. The output for this set of nodes is always listed in the order in which nodes were selected.
   
   
3. formula = Create a set based on mathematical ranges, such as creating a set for nodes with IDs from 1 to 1000.

For the majority of the applications (most of the /INTER, /BCS and Loads) the non-ordered Set Type selection works fine.

Hello Polyvios,

How can I create a range in Hypermesh? It will be helpful if you can share the steps or even if you can share the Radioss deck screen shot of range, we can edit in text editor.

Hi Naresh,

In the following KB you can find the steps in order to create a set with items in a specific range of IDs.
