It is important to verify your input before running a study:
Verify that you have assigned the proper material for each component/shell.
Verify that you have specified the proper study properties.
Verify that you have specified the proper loads and restraints.
If you used parameters to define design scenarios, verify the values of the parameters and the linked fields.
Verify the mesh and make sure it corresponds to the desired mesh options.
When you run a study, the software calculates the results based on the specified input for materials, restraints, loads, and mesh. For studies with design scenarios, you can run the study, as usual based on the current values of the linked parameters, or you can run the design scenarios.
You can choose to run a study automatically after meshing it by checking the Run analysis after meshing option in the Mesh PropertyManager. For studies with defined design scenarios, this option runs the study based on the current linked parameter values only. It does not run the design scenarios.
To obtain summary results for all active design scenarios and detailed results for the last active design scenario, right-click the study icon in the COSMOS AnalysisManager tree and click Run Design Scenarios.
To ignore the design scenarios and calculate detailed results based on the current values of linked parameters, right-click the study icon in the COSMOS AnalysisManager tree and click Run.
