Highlighting geometry associated with boundary conditions

Video: Display geometry associated with boundary conditions

Complex models can contain many boundary conditions. To visually check your model and verify where each boundary condition is applied, use the BC Selection Display mode. When BC Selection Display is turned on, the polygon geometry associated with the selected boundary conditions is highlighted in the same color as the boundary conditions. This display mode is an alternative to the display that is specified by the Color Basis option and in the Model Display Options dialog box.

Use the BC Selection Display Options command to select which boundary conditions are displayed. You can also control the display colors for excluded and overlapping boundary conditions.

The following image shows the view of pinned and user-defined constraints on a face when the BC Selection Display is not turned on, and when it is.

In the Simulation Navigator, when you right-click a boundary condition name, two additional options provide additional refinements to the display.

• Show Only displays only the selected boundary conditions and their associated geometry. The following image shows the views of a user-defined constraint on a face when the Show Only option is not selected, and when it is.Standard viewShow Only selected

• Show Reverse displays the polygon geometry except for the geometry associated with the selected boundary condition. This option lets you determine whether or not you have applied a boundary condition to a particular geometry item. The following image shows the views of a user-defined constraint on a face when the Show Reverse option is not selected, and when it is.Standard viewShow Reverse selected
