CUBIT can create BC sets, which is a group of previously defined loads, restraints and contact pairs. A BCSet is used to define a load case (analysis step) when writing out 3rd party analysis decks. A BCSet can be a static analysis set, a thermal analysis set, a modal analysis set, or a dynamic analysis set by specifying the analysistype. The After keyword can be used to define the order that the BCSets will be written when the model is exported.
Several solver-specific parameters can be set for a BCSet. For ABAQUS, parameters associated with *STEP, *STATIC, *DYNAMIC, *FREQUENCY, *HEAT TRANSFER, *MASS SCALING, *RESTART, *OUTPUT, *EL FILE, *NODE FILE, *EL PRINT, and *NODE PRINT can be modified. For Nastran, output requests can be defined for Displacement, Reaction Loads, MPC Forces, SPC Forces, Stress, and Element Strain Energy.
