Statistics

The Statistics dialog might give an idea of the data amount of the pre-meshed model.

Example:

Figure 6:30.

Minimum block limit, maximum block limit:

This is the bounding box that has been used to select the model objects for idealization. The number seen in the example represent the default case that no box has been explicitly set.

Type of analysis, Element size:

These are the settings that have been used for idealizing the block.

Number of objects:

This is the number of plane panels and surfaces contributing to the model.

Number of polylines:

This is the number of all polylines - not only beams and trusses - in the model. A lot of them come from for example, shell curves and panel trace curves to create the curved parts of the model without being a part of the final model itself.

Number of surface elements:

Number of beam elements:

Number of truss elements:

This is the number of the actual data elements to be exported on FE model output..\

Number of lines:

This is the number of all lines defined by start and end point index referred by polylines and areas.

Number of points:

This is the number of all points in the model. They are exported on FE model output and referred by shell, beam and truss elements.
