To edit model attributes:

1. From the main menu bar, select ModelEdit Attributesmodel name.

   The Edit Model Attributes dialog box appears.

2. If desired, enter a description for the model.

   1. Click Edit in the Edit Model Attributes dialog box.

      The model description editor appears.

   2. In the model description editor, type information that you want to record about the model.

   3. Click OK to store the description and to close the model description editor.

   The description that you enter is saved in the model database and is written above the header of the input file when you submit the model for analysis; the description is not written to the output database. For more information, see “Adding descriptions to your Abaqus/CAE model,” Section 9.9.2.

3. If you want Abaqus/CAE to write input files without parts and assemblies, toggle on Do not use parts and assemblies in input files. For more information about this option, see “Writing input files without parts and assemblies,” Section 9.9.4.

4. In the Physical Constants portion of the dialog box, do the following:

   • To specify surface emissivity and radiation conditions in heat transfer analyses, enter values for the absolute zero temperature and the Stefan-Boltzmann constant.

   • To identity the type of incident wave loading for an incident wave interaction in acoustic analyses, toggle on Specify acoustic wave formulation, click the arrow to the right of the text field, and select the formulation.

     • Select Scattered wave to obtain the scattered wave field solution that will be produced by incident wave loading.

     • Select Total wave to obtain the total acoustic pressure wave solution.

5. If desired, click the Restart tab to specify restart information that will start the analysis using data from a previous analysis. Toggle on Read data from job and do the following:

   • Type the name of the job from which Abaqus/CAE will read the restart information.

   • Type the name of the step from which Abaqus/CAE will restart the analysis.

   • Choose the increment or the interval of the step from which Abaqus/CAE will restart the analysis.

6. If desired, click the Submodel tab and do the following:

   • Toggle on Read data from job and enter the name of the output database from which the global solution will be used to drive the submodel boundary conditions or loads. You can also enter the name of a results file, if an output database is not available.

   • Specify whether the submodel will be a solid that is driven by a global shell model.

   For more information, see “Creating a submodel,” Section 35.2.

7. Click OK to save your data and to close the dialog box.
