For datasets that contain data defined in the model, such as Solution datasets (
) and
Mesh datasets (
), you can add a selection so that the results and plots use a subset of the geometry. As an alternative, you can add
Selection subnodes to some of the plot nodes; see
Selection (Plot Attribute).
In the Selection subnode (
), select the geometric entities for which you want to include data in the dataset using the
Graphics window and the settings under
Geometric Entity Selection in the
Selection subnode’s
Settings window. Select the
Propagate to lower dimensions check box to make a selection of domains, for example, also include their adjacent boundaries, edges, and points. This can be convenient when using Surface plots on the boundaries of a 3D geometry, for example.
