Defines a single imported superelement with the overall inertial and flexibility behavior summarized on a reduced set of degrees of freedom. The object also enables the synthesis of vibration behavior of more complex structures by assembling the geometry of the Imported Condensed Parts object with other parts during Harmonic Response (MSUP only), Modal, Random Vibration, Response Spectrum, and Motion analyses.

| Category | Properties/Options/Descriptions |
|---|---|
|
Scope |
: Read-only property that displays the number of nodes imported. |
|
Definition |
Import File Format: Displays the supported file types: , , and . Condensed Part File: Opens a dialog to define the path to the import file. Locating System: Specify the desired Coordinate System to orientate the imported superelement. : Has a default setting of that equates to the value zero. Using this setting the application automatically offsets the node number based on the Mesh. Any value that is greater than zero offsets the Node Ids by that value. Actual Node Offset: Read-only property that displays the node offset value used by the solver. Import Status: Read-only property showing the status of import workflow process. |

Analysis Data Management |
Solver Files Directory: Read-only property indicating the location of the solution files for this analysis. Future Analysis: Read-only property showing the option selected when the condensed part was exported. Solver Unit System: Read-only property showing the unit system of the imported superelement. |
|
Information |
Normal Modes Extracted: For .cpa files (only), this read-only property displays the number of normal modes extracted during the Generation Pass analysis using the CMSOPT command. |
