Create/Clone Selection Recipe dialog box

Type
Strategy	Available when you create a selection recipe (but not when you clone a selection recipe).Specifies the strategy to use for selecting entities.Bounding VolumeSelects all points; nodes; elements; element edges or faces; meshes; curves; polygon edges, faces, or bodies; or any combination of those entities within a defined area.AttributeSelects all points, curves, or polygon edges, faces, or bodies that have one or more particular attributes (such as the same name or color).Label RangeSelects a range of nodes or elements identified by their labels.CoordinateSelects a node that is near a particular coordinate.PointSelects a node that is near an existing point.Single LabelSelects a node that you manually specify.ProximitySelects all nodes or points that are near a particular point, mesh point, curve, or polygon edge or face.
Name	Sets a unique name for the selection recipe.For a coordinate, point, or single-label selection recipe, this name also appears when you view information about the post-processing results, create a post-processing annotation, or create a graph across iterations.
Delete Source Recipe	Appears when you clone a selection recipe.Deletes the selection recipe being cloned.If you select this check box, the clone can use the same name as the original selection recipe. However, any boundary conditions or other entities that use the original selection recipe do not automatically use the clone, even if the name is the same. Any affected boundary conditions become asleep and will not be used when you solve the solution. To address this issue, you must manually edit the affected entities to use the clone or another selection mechanism instead.Caution: If you delete a selection recipe that is used by a mesh, that mesh is deleted.
