World Coordinates

This dialog window is used to specify the world coordinates (dimensions) for a given task - left and right edges. The depth from the lowest point of the interface is for most of the programs an auxiliary input - it does not have any effect on the analysis itself. In the FEM program, the determination of correct world dimensions is very important and can effect the analysis results substantially.

The world coordinates can be changed at any time - when increasing dimensions, all input interfaces are automatically prolonged; when reducing dimensions, all points falling off the new world coordinates are automatically removed.
