4.3. Building a Model, Assigning Region Attributes and Meshing the Model

The Modeling and Meshing Guide explains techniques for building and meshing models. Once you have built the model, you must assign attributes to each region within it. "Attributes" are the element types and options, material properties, real constants and element coordinate systems you defined in Step 1; you assign attributes using the AATT and VATT commands or equivalent GUI paths. 2D Static Magnetic Analysis of this manual provides more details on assigning attributes to regions in your model.
