PRIMER User manual Version 10.0, June 2011 Labels for new items By default the new items will be labelled starting with the highest current label + 1 for each item type. Alternately, the user may specify a pair of seed labels (this or the next available label will be used) or a pair of offsets. One label is for the more populous type of item (nodes, elements, node sets, nrbs), the other for all other types. In the offset case, Primer will check that all the offset labels are available. If include label ranges are defined for the model, Primer will always try to correct any out of range labels once the orient operation is completed. Part for new items For copied element the user nay choose to • elems in same part put copied elements in the original part • elems in new part put copied elements into a newly created part If the user selects elems in new part, items referenced by the original part (e.g. material, section) will also be copied also. If the part is referenced directly by something (e.g. Boundary Prescribed Motion Rigid or contact by part) this card will also be copied. Part for welds If the options copy welds with panels and elems in new part are set, by default the option is to keep welds in their original part. If you want a new part for the welds you may switch from welds in same part to welds in new part. Duplicate includes If this is switch is active, when items in include files are copied a duplicate include is created (named to xxx_1, etc) for them. 6.23.9. Check for element distortion With the option Distorted Element Warning active, Primer94 will detect when an orient operation moves some but not all the nodes of an element. This typically occurs when orienting a rigid part with the option to Move attached extra nodes active. These nodes attach to deformable elements which will get distorted. The function will allow you to sketch the problematic elements and undo the entire orient or just undo the orient of extra nodes if applicable. Page 6.380
