Hello all,

 

I was following the Optistruct tutorial and got stuck at the following step:

 

Step 4:  Create temperatures on the inner surface of the pipe

2.From the Analysis page, click constraints.

3.Go to the create subpanel.

4.Make sure the current selection field is set to nodes.

5.Click nodes >> by sets.

6.Select node_temp and click select.

7.Uncheck the box in front of dof1, dof2, dof3, dof4, dof5, and dof6 and verify that the entry fields are set to 0.0.

8.Set load types = to SPC.

9.Click create.

This applies the temperature 0.0 on the inside nodes. In the next step, the temperature value will be updated to 60.

10.Click the Card edit icon .

11.Click loads >> by collector.

12.Check the box in front of spc_temp and click select.

13.Click config= and select const.

14.Click type= and select SPC.

15.Click edit.

16.In the field of D, enter 60.0.

17.Click return three times to go back to the Analysis page.

 

 

Step 16: D is not editable for me. Tried it several times. Loadcollector has no card image (but does not need one, I guess).

 

Your help as always is very appreciated.

    it is due to at step 7 you did not uncheck the dofs

    anyway you can change disp value (in another scene) by analysis>constraints>update, enter disp values and update it
