Boundary conditions in RTM are comprised of two entities:
| • | a load collector card image that defines the boundary |
| • | a component collector to store the boundary faces. |
The Boundary Condition Editor opens when you click the Create/Edit BC button under Boundary Conditions on the RTM Utility menu. The RTM Boundary Conditions Setup menu is displayed. The procedure for creating boundary conditions involves these steps:
| 1. | Create a new boundary condition by selecting its name, type, and color. |
| 2. | Edit the boundary condition data and fill in all the required parameters. |
| 3. | Assign this boundary condition to specific faces, by selecting the elements, nodes, and break angle. |
The Boundary Condition Editor walks you through these steps.
