Few Questions about HM2023

Burner2k

A couple of questions. 

1. In HW2022 (new GUI), when I click on any command, usually we get two windows. One source & the other target. In previous versions, I was able to go from one window to another one using Tab key on my keyboard. In new HM2023, Tab does not work. I saw in one of the video that space bar does the previous job but in my system, space bar does not work. What key do I use to navigate between mini-windows? Using mouse is a real pain.

2. In HM2023, is there a feature to specify Systems CID while defining DOF? I have created a Cylindrical Systems and I want to reference that CID for my DOF, preferably using GUI

Hello,

Please refer to the new mouse and keyboard operations

For your second question, can you be a bit more specific? What entity do you want to assign a CID to the DOFs (ex. constraints, beams...). Please add more detail to what exactly you want to do.

Typically it will be based on the the solver interprets those dofs for a certain entity. 

For example, if you want to constrain spc in a certain dof for a system, you must assign those nodes to the system.
