Description: Organizes FEMAP properties into “buckets” based on which physical part each property belongs to. For models that mix many parts in one FEM, this tool groups properties by part-of-origin and renumbers within bucket so part-A properties live in one ID range, part-B in another, etc. — making it dramatically easier to find and select properties belonging to a specific part.
Use Instructions: Run the tool. Pick the part-identification mode: by group membership, by layer, by name pattern, or by a CSV mapping file. Pick the bucket size (typically 100). The tool walks each property, identifies its part, and assigns a target ID within the appropriate bucket range. Existing element references are rewired atomically.
Requirements: Open FEMAP model with properties belonging to identifiable parts (via group, layer, name, or external mapping).
Notes: Works alongside Sort Properties (within-bucket sort) and the Bulk Property Renamer (set part prefix in the name). Together these give you sortable, named, bucketed properties that scan well in large models.
Advanced Users: To our users: We appreciate feedback on our tools and encourage you to modify them to your specific needs. If you make an improvement you feel would be valuable to others, please submit it through our contribution page. |
