-  * ++ How do I know what loads and restraints are being applied with one of the quick scenarios? | \\ See [[wiki:id:quick_scenarios|Quick Scenarios]] for descriptions of the 6 scenarios. You can also review what loads and restraints were applied after solving by clicking the "Show Loads and Restraints" check box on the Scenario Details tab in the View Results window. +++  * ++ How do I know what loads and restraints are being applied with one of the quick scenarios? | \\ See [[wiki:id:quick_scenarios|Quick Scenarios]] for descriptions of the 6 scenarios.

   * ++ Can I apply more than one of the quick scenarios? | \\ The six quick scenarios are designed to setup a common, easily recognizable scenario in seconds. If you'd like to apply more than one load type to your model, use the **Advanced** option. ++   * ++ Can I apply more than one of the quick scenarios? | \\ The six quick scenarios are designed to setup a common, easily recognizable scenario in seconds.

   * ++ Can I apply a combination of different loads to a face?| \\ Yes. With the Advanced feature, any number or combination of loads may be applied to any faces of the solid. ++   * ++ Can I apply a combination of different loads to a face?| \\ Yes. With the Advanced feature, any number or combination of loads may be applied to any faces of the solid. ++
 +  * ++ How can I quickly select multiple faces to restrain? | \\ Simply hold **[Shift]** while dragging your mouse across the model. Any surfaces that were dragged over will be selected. ++
   * ++ Are climatic loads such as rain, snow, or wind supported?| \\  Presently, there is no way to input these specific types of loads. However, it is possible to simulate the effects of such weather events using directional loads or pressures. For example, wind loads may be simulated using pressure, and snow loads may be simulated using a vector force equivalent to a certain depth of snow. However, this only simulates the forces, not the climatic effects on materials. ++   * ++ Are climatic loads such as rain, snow, or wind supported?| \\  Presently, there is no way to input these specific types of loads.

   * ++ Can I see a numerical value of the solution at a point? | \\ Yes. Simply hold [shift] and click on the model at the location you'd like to examine. The following result values are displayed: the coordinates of the position selected, the displacement values at that position in each of the principal directions, and the Von Mises Stress.  ++   * ++ Can I see a numerical value of the solution at a point? | \\ Yes.

   * ++ How can I export my results?|  \\ There is a shareable link provided on the Simulation Results tab that can be copied and sent to anyone you'd like to see your results. You can also download a short video showing the current solution property and a deformation animation of the object.  ++   * ++ How can I export my results?|  \\ There is a shareable link provided on the Simulation Results tab that can be copied and sent to anyone you'd like to see your results.

 +  * ++ I want to analyze a solution property not listed. How can I get these results? | \\ The standard version of Intact.design only provides solutions for the properties listed in the pull down menu. If you commonly need another solution type, contact us at info@intact-solutions.com for a customizable enterprise plan, or try out our desktop version, [[https://www.intact-solutions.com/scan-solve/scansolve-pro-download/|Scan&Solve Pro]], which offers many more solution properties. ++

Line 34: Line 36:
   * ++ What types of Intact.design licenses are available for purchase?| \\ Intact.design will allow 5 free simulations to test the software before deciding on purchasing. The standard software plan costs $60/month and can be bought [[https://intact.design/subscriptions/plans|here]]. We also offer an enterprise plan. Contact us at info@intact-solutions.com for more information and pricing. ++   * ++ What types of Intact.design licenses are available for purchase?| \\ Intact.design will allow 5 free simulations to test the software before deciding on purchasing.

-    * ++ How can I keep abreast of the latest developments and releases of Intact.design?| \\ The best way to keep track of new developments is to download and try the evaluation version, available here. This will add your email to our mailing list. You can also keep track of developments at the Scan&Solve Pro website. ++
