Add Dependent Solve Setup
For driven setups (not Eigenmode), to apply all settings from an existing setup to a child setup:
- Select an existing setup in the project tree.
- Right-click the setup in the project tree, and then click Add Dependent Solve Setup on the shortcut menu.
A dependent setup icon appears, which has an altered graphic to distinguish it from the parent setup icon. The child setup name is "parent_setup name_1." All of the settings from the parent setup are copied to the child setup. The dependent setup uses the mesh from the parent setup. This is shown under the Advanced tab of the Solution Setup dialog box, Specifying a Source for the initial mesh. You can add a dependent setup to another dependent setup, and form of the name shows the hierarchical dependence by appending "_1" to show further dependence.
If you intend to change any of the settings, you do this just as you would for a new setup.
The Enabled check box on General tab permits to you to disable a setup so that it does not run when you select Analyze All. If a solve is disabled, the Analyze command on the shortcut menu for the Project tree is disabled and the Enable Setup command is available.
