Adjust FEM model (Beginner)

Adjust FEM model (Beginner)

Adjust FEM model (Beginner)

(OP)
Hi,

I'm working through some FEM tutorials, and things are mostly going well.  But unfortunatelly, the study material has left out one essential thing: Howto go back and make changes in an already executed model?

The most imediate issue here is that all settings seem to be locked due to the existance of a solution.  How do I unlock executed models for modifications?

RE: Adjust FEM model (Beginner)

(OP)
It seems like one has to delete each object manually and then replace them with new ones, instead of simply modifying them in a straight-forward manner.  Is this true?

For instance, if I want to change the mesh.  Should I then first delete the results file and then mesh and then recreate the mesh again?  I hope not..  How do I make changes more time-efficiently?
