Reassigning Objects to Another Object Selection

You can assign objects after you have created an object selection. Creating an object selection is a convenient way to identify and select a group of objects for a boundary, excitation, mesh, or parameter, or for a field plot or calculation. Objects in a selection can still be treated as separate objects. The same object can be included in several different selections.

To reassign objects to an existing object selection:

1. If you are selecting in the Modeler window, make sure that the modeler is in select object mode by pressing the O shortcut key. This is not necessary for selecting in the History tree.
2. Select the objects you want to reassign.
3. Click Modeler > Named Selection > Reassign.

   A dialog box with the existing object selections is displayed. (They appear in the History Tree under Named Selections.)



4. Click the named selection that you want to modify, and then select Reassign, Add To, or Remove From.
5. Click OK.

   If Reassign was selected, the object is reassigned to the active selection, replacing previous list members. The Add To and Remove From options act only on the selected objects.

The Objects property of the selection shows the objects contained in the selection, with each name separated by a comma.

The object selection will be treated as one volume when you are assigning a boundary, excitation, mesh, or parameter, or plotting and performing fields calculations. It will be listed in the Geometry window of the Fields Calculator, when you select Volume.
