Start Node ID / Start Element ID

The Assembly browser contains columns to assign the desired start node and element IDs for the models / sub-models / bodies. The bodies get numbered using these values before writing the solver input file (Solution Name > Right Click > Export Solver Input File). It helps to always export the solver input file with the predefined ID ranges.

The membrane elements (defined in the Sets) will follow the assigned element ID range of the associated body / sub-model / model in the assembly browser.
