CLIPBOARD

CLIPBOARD

The clipboard function allows the user to work on a subsection of a model. Each model has its own clipboard and the clipboard contents remains part of the model. The clipboard contents can be;

  • renumbered - this is useful for renumbering nodes and elements by part
  • interrogated for their locations - useful when a model contains many include files
  • saved as a group or new model - a quick way of obtaining a complete sub model
  • written as a separate keyword file - useful when only specific parts need to be modified in a separate application
  • moved to a new or existing include file - useful for model organisation
  • merged into another model - a quick way of building new models
  • reuse of selections in general object menus
