The following sections provide a brief summary of the options found in the Class pulldown menu (Figure 1).

The Class menu provides quick access to the various Input and Results class interfaces. Simply select the Input or Results class of interest and the Simulation pane will appear with the appropriate tab automatically selected and in focus.

Classes provide the basic organizational structure for input and results interaction in StressCheck. Input classes include Geometry, Mesh, Thickness, Section Properties, Material, Load, Constraint, etc. Each Input class provides access to model objects and input data records which define the model. Learn more about input classes in Model Inputs Overview.

Results operation classes include Error Estimation, Plot, Points, etc. The Results classes provide access to the various post-processing features of StressCheck. Post-processing requires selection of the desired results class, followed by selection of the solution(s) of interest and various options related to the chosen results class.
