You can't easily delete Plots and xy Session Data? Not anymore!!!

Code-Snippet for deleting xyData

Delete Session xyData

getridkeys=session.xyDataObjects.keys()
for i in range(0,len(getridkeys)):
        del session.xyDataObjects[getridkeys[i]]

Code-Snippet for deleting xyPlots

Delete Session xyPlots

getridkeys=session.xyPlots.keys()
for i in range(0,len(getridkeys)):
        del session.xyPlots[getridkeys[i]]

Interactions → Constraints → Equations

This editor provides the posibility to connect nodes by defining a set of linear equations.

Example for periodic boundary conditions for the connection of two nodes:

- Coefficient

  Prefactor for linear equation for selected DOF (displacement). For the first set it should be 1. For all other sets in the current constraint it should be -1.

- set name

  Set for first row can contain more than one node ("master set"). All other sets are "connected" with the master set. 
  Every other sets in sequential rows should contain only one node.

- Degree of freedom

  Select DOF for which the coefficient is applied (1 means: u_x, 2 means: u_y, ...)

- Coordinate system

  Only necessary if you want to work with local coordinate systems. Otherwise this field should be set to "(global)".
