==Node, face and edge sets== | |||
ADH uses node, face and edge sets to define locations on the [[GMS:3D Mesh Module|3D mesh]] where [[GMS:ADH#Boundary conditions|boundary conditions]] are located. These sets are created and deleted separately from the boundary conditions, which makes for great flexibility. GMS associates names with the sets for convenience and automatically numbers the sets when saving the ADH input files. | |||
===Creating sets=== | |||
====Node sets==== | |||
A node set is simply that - a set of nodes. It is created by selecting boundary nodes using the [[GMS:3D_Mesh_Tool_Palette|Select Boundary Nodes]] [[Image:Tool_SelectBoundaryNodes.GIF]]tool and selecting the ''ADH|Create Set'' menu command. | |||
====Face sets==== | |||
A face set is created by similarly but using the [[GMS:3D_Mesh_Tool_Palette|Select Boundary Faces]] [[Image:Tool_SelectBoundaryFaces.GIF]] tool. | |||
====Edge sets==== | |||
An edge set is a collection of edges. An edge is defined as the line connecting two nodes on an element face. The edge is therefore described as a pair of nodes. Edge sets are created by defining a node string using the [[GMS:3D_Mesh_Tool_Palette|Select Node Strings]] [[Image:Tool_SelectNodeStrings.GIF]] tool and selecting the ''ADH|Create Set'' menu command. | |||
===Editing sets=== | |||
Existing sets can be viewed and edited using the ''ADH|View Sets'' menu command. This brings up the View Sets dialog which lists the existing sets. Selecting sets in the list will cause the corresponding items on the 3D mesh to be selected and highlighted. The name of the set can be edited, but adding or removing items from the set is not allowed. If this type of editing is desired, you must delete the set and recreate it with the correct items. | |||

==Material properties== | |||
Several [[GMS:Materials|material]] properties can be defined per material. Materials can be defined an an element-by-element basis on the mesh. Materials and their properties are available via the ''Edit|Materials'' menu command. | |||
