display/set/rendering-options/hidden-surface-method/Allows you to choose from among the hidden surface removal methods that Ansys Fluent supports. These options (listed below) are display hardware dependent.
display/set/rendering-options/hidden-surface-method/hardware-z-bufferIs the fastest method if your hardware supports it. The accuracy and speed of this method is hardware dependent.
display/set/rendering-options/hidden-surface-method/paintersWill show less edge-aliasing effects than hardware-z- buffer. This method is often used instead of software-z-buffer when memory is limited.
display/set/rendering-options/hidden-surface-method/software-z-bufferIs the fastest of the accurate software methods available (especially for complex scenes), but it is memory intensive.
display/set/rendering-options/hidden-surface-method/z-sort-onlyIs a fast software method, but it is not as accurate as software-z-buffer.
