Getting access to all patches and upgrades will probably push me to renew. (I certainly don't get any "value-add" from the local...

    "Surface Patches" in Alibre / Algor DesignCheck?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to somehow define "Surface Patches" in Algor DesignCheck (or in Alibre models which are then analysed in Algor DesignCheck) so that I can apply a boundary condition or pressure load to just PART of a defined surface, rather than the WHOLE surface? (Or is this...
