Inspect Thermo-Optical Properties dialog box

Filter
ALL Lists all the following modeling objects, belonging to the model, in the Modeling Objects list:Thermo-Optical PropertiesThermo-Optical Properties – AdvancedThermo-Optical Properties – State
BY MESH/ELEMENTS Sorts the thermo-optical modeling objects, in the Modeling Objects list, by their associated meshes and elements.
Select Object Appears when the BY MESH/ELEMENTS option is selected.Lets you select the meshes and elements and then lists the associated thermo-optical modeling objects in the Modeling Objects list.
Modeling Objects
State Sets the thermo-optical property state from the Thermo-Optical Properties – State modeling objects for which you want the information. For more information, see Thermo-optical properties.
Modeling Objects list Lists thermo-optical modeling objects according to the filter criteria options you choose in the Filter group. When you select one or more thermo-optical modeling object from the list, the following commands are available: Show Related ElementsDisplays only the meshes associated to the selected thermo-optical modeling objects. If the thermo-optical modeling object is not associated to a mesh, the software writes it to the Information window. List PropertiesLists the thermo-optical properties for the selected modeling objects in the Information window. List Mesh CollectorsLists the associated mesh collectors for the selected modeling objects in the Information window.
Show Elements Normal Displays element normals for all visible meshes as you are inspecting the thermo-optical properties.
