Inspecting thermo-optical properties

Use the Inspect Thermo-Optical Properties NX open command to easily determine the thermo-optical properties defined for different meshes in your model. The command lets you to:

• List all Thermo-Optical Properties, Thermo-Optical Properties – Advanced, Thermo-Optical Properties – State modeling object in your model.

• List thermo-optical modeling objects for selected meshes or elements.

• List the thermo-optical properties or associated mesh collectors of one or more thermo-optical modeling objects.

• Display the meshes associated to one or more thermo-optical modeling objects.

• Display element normals for all visible meshes as you are inspecting the thermo-optical properties.
