Simulation Navigator views

Video: Display physical properties and materials with colors

The software offers Simulation Navigator views that are useful for large FEM models that contain multiple physical property tables, materials, meshes, and boundary layers:

• Standard View groups the 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D mesh collectors.

• Boundary Layer View displays the polygon bodies with boundary layer meshes, associated mesh controls, and element collectors generated during meshing.

• Material View groups the meshes and polygon bodies that share the same material properties.

• Mesh View hides the mesh collectors and displays the meshes only.

• Physical Properties View groups the meshes that share the same physical properties.
