How do I edit the parameters of a PFBODY in 2024.1

I am trying to follow the OS-T-2098 topology optimization tutorial in 2024.1 and I am having issues.  I've noticed none of the tutorials are updated for the GUI change but I've been able to find the options/parameters well enough to do all of them except this one.

The issue I am having is part of the tutorial tells me to change the lower arm from a PRBODY to a PFBODY.  In 2022 and earlier versions, it gives you some parameters you can change (CMS method, NMODES, etc).  But in 2024, the only way I can change from a PRBODY to a PFBODY is in the Groups collector and I don't see any of those parameters that I can set.  When I try to run the optimization, I get a failure.

If I run through the tutorial using 2022, everything works fine.

Thanks!

  • hello @Ken_21167 ,

    as we had a low usage of PFBODY cards, we decided not to migrate short term PFBODY creation. If you have a critical need of such options, please open a support request so that we can track your request and escalate it to our development team
