Editing the Display of Mesh Volumes

You can display model volumes according to applicable meshing techniques. You can also isolate, hide, or restore the display of volumes in the mesh part. Yellow colored volumes indicate that a sweep technique can be used, with hex and possibly wedge elements. Orange colored volumes indicate that a free meshing technique can be used, with tetrahedron and possibly pyramid elements.

    Yellow volumes are meshed with a sweep technique, and orange volumes are meshed with a free meshing technique.

    • Click and select a volume to isolate it and hide all other volumes.
    • Click and select a volume to hide it.
    • Click to unhide all volumes.

  3. Select Show hidden edges to show the edges of hidden volumes.
