To create a state in which the selection can be visualized, click the Build Selected button (
). To rebuild the entire meshing sequence, click the
Build All button (
). Toggle the
Selection List button (
) on the
Mesh toolbar open the
Selection List window and click the name of the selection in the list of named selections in the bottom section.
To create these selections, click the mesh operation’s node in the Model Builder and then select corresponding check box in the
Settings window’s
Selections of Resulting Entities section. The selections then become available with the label of the mesh operation node (
Create Edges 1, for example) in subsequent mesh nodes. Rename the operation’s node to also rename the selection. To make the selections available in all applicable selection lists in the
Settings windows for the physics nodes, material nodes, and so on, select the
Show in physics option (
Show outside part if in a mesh part) list. Where applicable, select on which levels the selection should be available:
All levels, to make the selection available for all geometric entity levels;
Domain selection (the default for most operations);
Boundary selection;
Edge selection (3D only);
Point selection; or
Off, if the selection will not be available outside of the mesh sequence (or mesh part). These selections do not appear as separate selection nodes in the model tree.
To hide the selected geometric entities in the named selection nodes, toggle the Selection List button (
) on the
Mesh toolbar open the
Selection List window. Right-click the name of the selection in the bottom section and choose
Hide Selection (
). To show the hidden selection again, right-click the name and select
Show Selection (
).
