CREATE Making a new friction definition
This shows the create/edit panel for friction. New friction data lines can be added by clicking on the button.
lets you export part pair friction details to a CSV file which can be used later to create multiple part pair friction data lines in the card using .
COPY Copy existing define friction(s) to make a new define friction(s)
The selected define frictions are copied. (Define frictions do not "own" anything, so the concept of recursive copying does not apply.)
MODIFY Modifying the attributes of an existing friction
functions in the same way as , except that an initial definition will be present. Any modifications made to the define friction definition will not be made permanent until the button is pressed. At this point the local copy which has been updated is used to overwrite the version in the model.
DELETE Delete existing define friction definitions
The selected define frictions are deleted.
Define frictions do not "own" anything, so the concept of recursive deletion does not apply, however a connection property that is referred to (ie "owned") by some higher order item will not be deletable unless that item is deleted too, or its reference to the define friction removed.
LIST List friction summaries to screen
The selected define frictions are summarised on the screen.
CHECK Check define friction definitions for errors
The selected define friction definitions are run through the standard checking routines.
RENUMBER Change define friction labels
lets you change any or all define friction labels within a given model using the standard renumbering panel. To change the label of an individual define friction it may be simpler just to it.
