Export Options - COSMOSM

Offsets

Node Offset Sets the node offset. The lowest node label in the generated file will be the specified node offset + 1.
Element Offset Sets the element offset. The lowest element label in the generated file will be the specified element offset + 1.

Options

Units The unit of length to be used in exporting the model.
Export FEM Only When checked, only FEM will be exported to COSMOSM.
Export geometry When checked, only geometry will be exported. Exporting geometry helps you specify loads and boundary conditions in GEOSTAR.
You can also export your model to these FEA programs: ANSYS, NASTRAN, ABAQUS, Patran, IDEAS, and Exodus. You need SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional or Premium license to export your model to the available FEA programs.
