Explicit Selection (Geometry Sequences)

) to create the selection using the selection tools for individual geometry objects or geometric entities (boundaries, for example). To add this node, right-click the node and choose .

Based on space dimension, select a : , , , , or for the geometric objects or entities to add to the selection list.

Select and add geometric entities in the window or using other selection methods. The selected items are highlighted in the window.

If (for 2D and 3D models) or is selected, also select the check box to extend the selection to all adjacent faces or edges that have continuous tangents (an angle less than the value in the field) at their junctions to select all faces that make up a continuous sheet, for example. When the check box is selected, set the tolerance on the continuity condition in the field as the maximum angle between two faces or edges that are considered as having continuous tangents (a value between 0 and 180 degrees; the default value is 5 degrees).

	If a particular selection is used elsewhere in the model, including in other selections, it is not possible to change the geometric entity level, for example, from domains to boundaries.

	To deselect one or some of the faces or edges that make up the group with continuous tangents, first clear the Group by continuous tangent check box.

By default, the check box is selected. Clear the check box if you do not want the resulting selection to be available as a named selection in other nodes in the geometry sequence or other parts of the model tree. If the check box is selected, you can also determine if the selection should appear in applicable settings for physics, materials, and other parts of the model tree outside of the geometry using the list (or if the selection is in a geometry part; in a plane geometry under a work plane in a 3D component). If the geometric entity level is not set to (any of , , , or ), choose (the default) or to show the selection in physics and other settings or not. If the geometric entity level is , choose one of (that is, all entity levels), (in geometry parts only), , , (3D only), , or . For , is the default; for , is the default.

From the list, choose an option. In addition to available nodes, is always available from the list. To create a new , click . Enter a in the window. Click or press enter. This new cumulative selection is now available from any list for a geometry selection.
