Hide for Mesh
Use the Hide for Mesh () to hide geometric entities (boundaries, for example) in the analyzed (finalized) mesh that defines its own geometric model, used for modeling at a specific geometric entity level for any View. It is also available from a View for a mesh part. Use it to hide parts of the mesh that defines its own geometric model from the view in the Materials, physics interface, Mesh, studies, and Results branches.
To add Hide for Mesh nodes:
•
In the Model Builder, under Definitions click View. In the View toolbar, click Hide for Mesh, or
•
Right-click the View node and select Hide for Mesh.
The Hide for Mesh node is available if you have a mesh that defines its own geometric model. The most typical example is an imported mesh that is used for simulation.
The Settings window for Hide for Mesh 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. 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 checkbox 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 geometric entities in the Graphics window.
