This section explains the specific tasks for setting up the project defaults in Smart Materials.

This section describes the steps required for set up of project defaults. Project defaults are maintained on the A.20.11/.12/.13 screens.

The screens have several tab pages. When a project default has a value of ./., this means the value has not been set. In this case, Smart Materials uses the hard-coded default value for this setting. In the following section, the hard-coded value for each project default is shown in the Default Value line.

A table showing all project defaults and default values is provided at the end of this section.

Project defaults can be set on these levels, from the top down:

  • Project group (A.20.11)

  • Project (A.20.12)

  • Project/discipline (A.20.13)

The default setting is selected by a module/procedure on the discipline level first, then on the project level, and finally on the project group level. If it is not defined anywhere, an error message may occur.

Another concept that is important is that higher levels only serve as a template for lower levels. This means that changing a setting on a higher level will be effective only when it is not yet defined on a lower level of this hierarchy. So if you change a setting at the project level, the discipline setting will still be valid when it was set.

To facilitate setting up a new project, project defaults can be copied from other projects or from template projects in different ways.

  • Using the Copy Values button on the A.20.12 or A.20.13 screen

  • Using the A.20.02 Copy Admin Setup screen, with the Project Defaults (A.20.12) or Project Discip. Def. (A.20.13) options

  • Using the A.60.02.07 Project Setup Copy screen, with the A.20.12 or A.20.13 function assigned to the Copy Setup
