Find Entities Subpanel
Option | Action |
---|---|
entity selector | Select the data type
of the entities to find. When you select nodes or elems,
click the switch to change the selection mode.
|
numbers | Display the numbers of the entities. |
found nodes: on mark / temp nodes | Only displays when nodes is chosen as the entity. |
free lines / surf edges | Only displays when lines is chosen as the entity |
free edges | Only displays when surf edges is chosen. |
shared edges | Only displays when surf edges is chosen. |
non-manifold edges | Only displays when surf edges is chosen. |
suppressed edges | Only displays when surf edges is chosen. |
display: only connector | Only displays when connectors is chosen as the entity. |
display: connector and FE | Only displays when connectors is chosen as the entity. |
face angle / individual selection |
|
edge angle |
Split edges that belong to a given face. When the edge
angle is 180 degrees, edges are the continuous boundaries of faces. For smaller
values, these same boundary edges are split wherever the angle between segments
exceeds the specified value. A segment is the edge of a single element.
Important: Only available when the entity selector is set to nodes and the
selection mode is set to free edges, free edges ext, edges, or edges
ext.
