Running the Idealization

To start the idealization process, click the OK button in the dialog.

You will be notified if there were any errors under the process. They should be carefully investigated because erroneous geometry may lead to unpredictable results in the FE modelling process.

Before running a new idealization with the same idealized block, the old model has to be deleted. You can do this in the FE geometry dialog Analysis | Create FE Model:

1. Select the block from the tree view.

2. Right-click, and, in the popup menu, click on the item Delete.

3. Confirm and the block and the idealized panels will be removed.
