Control the visibility of elements and nodes

You can control the visibility of results by hiding or showing elements and their associated nodes. This is useful, for example, if you have a very large model and want to view results for a small portion of the model, or to highlight areas of interest.

Note:

When you display only portions of your results, you can control how displayed results are mapped to the color bar using the Result and Displayed options on the Legend page of the Post View dialog box. For more information, see Legend dialog box.
