Creates and manipulates lists with which you can reference a number of entities for input in commands that accommodate multiple entity selection.

Calculates mass properties either of entire geometric and finite element models or of their subregions. Displays graphic symbols related to mass properties and outputs report files and summary spreadsheets.

Creates and manages dimensioned cross section shapes to be associated with beam elements. Calculates section properties for any selected beam cross section.

Creates named application regions for use in most places where application regions (collections of entities) are requiered.

Creates and manages variable parameters to be used in design studies and design optimization.

Creates and manages design study cases in which the functions necessary for design optimization are defined.
