Updating Meshes

You can update a particular mesh, or you can update all existing meshes.

Before you begin: A finite element model representation containing at least one mesh must exist.

  1. To update a mesh, right-click it in the tree, and select Update Mesh.

    Multi-selection of meshes is available.

    The PLM Update... progress bar appears and shows you the progression of the mesh update.
    Important: The Nodes and Elements set will not be updated even if you update all the meshes locally (updating meshes locally means that you update all the meshes of this set one by one using the Update Mesh context menu). To update the Nodes and Elements set, you must use the Update All Meshes context menu.
  2. To update all meshes, right-click Nodes and Elements in the tree, and select Update All Meshes.
    The PLM Update... progress bar appears and shows you the mesh that is currently updated and the progression of the update.
  3. To interrupt the update of an Octree mesh (Octree Tetrahedron mesh or Octree triangle mesh) or the update of all meshes, click Stop.
