Hide for Physics
Use the Hide for Physics () to hide geometric entities (boundaries, for example) in the analyzed (finalized) geometry used for modeling at a specific geometric entity level for any View. Use it to hide parts of the geometry from the view in the Materials, physics interface, Mesh, studies, and Results branches. You can also use named selection to define the entities to hide.
To add Hide for Physics nodes:
•
In the Model Builder, under Definitions click View. In the View toolbar, click Hide, or
•
Right-click the View node and select Hide for Physics.
The Hide for Geometry node hides geometry objects or parts of such objects and affects the view in the Geometry branch as well.
The Settings window for Hide for Physics contains the following section:
Geometric Entity Selection
Hide a set of geometric entities at a specific Geometric entity level: Domain (the default), Boundary, Edge (3D only), or Point. From the Selection list, select Manual (the default) or All domains, All boundaries, All edges (3D only), or All points. The Selection list also contains any named selections if available for the selected geometric entity level. If Manual is selected, go to the Graphics window and select the geometric entities that you want to hide. The selected entities appear in the list under the Selection list. For example, hide some domains that are not of interest in the model, or some boundaries only on a specific domain to get a clearer view of some of the model. You can include the hidden entities in a plot by selecting the Show hidden entities check box under Plot Settings in the corresponding plot group’s Settings window. Use the Add to Selection (), Remove from Selection (), Clear Selection (), and Zoom to Selection () buttons as needed. Click the Show Objects in Selection button () at the top of the Settings window to show or hide the selected geometry objects or geometric entities in the Graphics window.
