MYSTRAN AIM attributes

The following list of attributes are required for the MYSTRAN AIM inside the geometry input.

• capsLength [optional] This attribute defines the length units that the *.csm file is generated in. A scaling factor is only applied if a unit system is specified when creating a mystrain AIM instance.
• capsAIM This attribute is a CAPS requirement to indicate the analysis the geometry representation supports.
• capsGroup This is a name assigned to any geometric body. This body could be a solid, surface, face, wire, edge or node. Recall that a string in ESP starts with a $. For example, attribute capsGroup $Wing.
• capsLoad This is a name assigned to any geometric body where a load is applied. This attribute was separated from the capsGroup attribute to allow the user to define a local area to apply a load on without adding multiple capsGroup attributes. Recall that a string in ESP starts with a $. For example, attribute capsLoad $force.
• capsConstraint This is a name assigned to any geometric body where a constraint/boundary condition is applied. This attribute was separated from the capsGroup attribute to allow the user to define a local area to apply a boundary condition without adding multiple capsGroup attributes. Recall that a string in ESP starts with a $. For example, attribute capsConstraint $fixed.
• capsIgnore It is possible that there is a geometric body (or entity) that you do not want the MYSTRAN AIM to pay attention to when creating a finite element model. The capsIgnore attribute allows a body (or entity) to be in the geometry and ignored by the AIM. For example, because of limitations in OpenCASCADE a situation where two edges are overlapping may occur; capsIgnore allows the user to only pay attention to one of the overlapping edges.
• capsBound This is used to mark surfaces on the structural grid in which data transfer with an external solver will take place. See MYSTRAN Data Transfer for additional details.
