Efficient v0.0.2 Wizard updated

Thanks claws for excellent review

Im just commenting while I click through it now:

No comments on mesh and analysis type.

Material: You should probably mention which unit system you are using or better yet, let the user choose from a pull-down menu.
Your tool tip for 'Is connected to' could/should be named 'assigned to' and also let the user know how to add several groups to one material - I assume you separate them with a comma?

Assigned to makes more sense than Is connected to. I will change this in the next version.
Adding several groups to one material is yet not enabled, Feature for next version.

claws wrote: Boundary conditions:
You could/should keep consistent with the 'is assigned to..' wording instead of Group Name.
For imposed conditions, you will have to do one of two things (or something I haven't thought of right now:)) Since face_impo doesn't support rotations to a face (DRxyz), you should either have a pull-down menu for each type: node, element or face, or add check marks - radio buttons - that can disable conditions along with a description of available conditions for each type.
For a face with face_impo, only Dxyz are available. Or a third option, Im not a Java programmer.
Again, a tool tip on how to add multiple groups.

Is assigned to, point noted
I will disable DRX, Y, Z when user selects Imposed on Face.
At this stage adding multiple groups in a single Face Impo is not enabled, user has to do multiple Add and that's how it is. The reason for this is also to make stepping function easy as user can step each function individually (functionality to be added in future versions, if required). I know that this is a bit more cumbersome but at this stage this is not enabled. I will give it a thought of how to implement it.

claws wrote: Loads:
'Assigned to..', how to separate
Force on face can only apply Fxyz, not Mxyz
Which units comply with the assigned unit system? a [mm] or similar would be nice.

Assigned to, point noted.
I will disable Mxyz when Force on Face is selected
At this stage there are no default units unless you are using default Materials. The default units for materials is MPa, mm, N, t/mm^3, mm/s^2

If you are not using Materials from the drop down, you can select any units. It is similar to Code_Aster as in there are no default units and it is user's responsibility

claws wrote: Load stepping:
I don't quite understand this right now. I assume it will be useful when you add NLA to the program, but as of right now, how do I assign a linear increasing load? I need two pairs of x,y but is the next pair separated by a comma or other?
which units comply with the assigned unit system? a [Pa] or similar would be nice.

Again, nice work, much appreciated

/C

Load stepping function steps are as shown on my website. Following is just a simple example.

If you want to step Force of 100N as 0 for step 1, 100N for step 2, 150N for step 3, 100N for step 4 and then want to keep it 100N for remaining steps, you need to select "None" for Left side of function, "Constant" for Right side of function and add 1,0,2,1,3,1.5,4,1 to Load Step Pair.

Thanks for the replies and queries. I am motivated to work harder on this software when I get response from the community.

Cheers
