Hello, I am doing this example https://altairuniversity.com/26447-bird-strike-analysis-on-an-aircraft-leading-edge-using-sph-bird-model/

However, I am stuck on the following step:

The loads and boundary conditions for the model are created now. From Utility Menu, select BCs Manager. Provide a name for the load collector and select type as Boundary Condition. From the selector choose nodes and select the master node of the rigid body created. Fix all the degrees of freedom and click create

I am using 2021.2 and I can not find this? One additional question: why in every release things are moved around? It is a little frustrating. Also, the option to find some pannels is not working that good. Thank you.

    you could use for this the 'solver browser'.

    Activate it in View>>Solver Browser

    This tutorial was created for 2017 version..so from there there were a lot of changes.

    Most of the model setup is now defined thorugh the solver browser for Radioss.

    Hello, I did it in the solver browser, but when I try to run it, I get a message that my rigid elements have no material and property. The error is 178 and 179. How can I fix this? Thanks

    rigid elements doesn't need property and material, as far as I know.

    Have you tried using Model Checker? It would help you to find the common errors in your model
