Physical properties and element attributes > Using mesh collectors
Clone a mesh collector
You can clone a mesh collector based on an existing one and then modify aspects of it.
In the Simulation Navigator, right-click an existing mesh collector.
Choose Clone .The new collector displays in the list with the same name as the original, with a number appended to it. For example, if you clone a mesh collector with the name PSOLID 1, the new mesh collector name is PSOLID 1_1.
Right-click the new mesh collector and choose Edit to modify the mesh collector properties and rename it if you wish.
