A filter part contains all of the elements (with associated nodes) from the list of parent parts that are not filtered out via the filter settings. There can be up to 6 filter settings where each setting can be against a constant variable value or against a second variable (such as filter out all elements that have Pressure > Computed_pressure). The filter variable can be either a scalar, vector, or coordinate component. For example, you can create a filter part where two filters are activated such that the first filter removes all of the X values < 0 and the second filter will remove all Pressure values > 10. The resulting filter part will contain only the elements where the parent part elements have X values >= 0 and the Pressure value is <= 10.

An element will be filtered out if any of the vertex nodes are filtered or a filter is using a per-element variable which removes the element.
