Problem: In some cases it is desirable with different parameters for different analysis types in a structure. Examples could be:
- A structure where you want different releases in the static model than in the earthquake model
- A structure where you want different load to mass conversions for different cases
Currently, I often find myself saving different instances of a model. This means that changing geometry becomes time-consuming as each instance must be updated.
Solution: Allowing the model to branch, so that eg. one geometric model can be the parent of models with different material properties/loads/masses/analysis types.
