Reports part-by-part information about your model in the message window. You can use the submenu to choose to display information about All Parts, only Geometry Parts, only Meshing Parts, only Blocking Parts, or only parts with Boundary Conditions.
Tip: To see information about specific parts, you can select them in the Display tree and then access the context-sensitive menu using the right mouse button. See Individual Part Display Options
The geometry information reported includes the number of surfaces, curves, and points contained in the part, the surface area, and the bounding box extents.
The mesh information reported includes the number and the types of elements, the mesh area, and the bounding box extents.
The blocking information reported includes the total number of blocks as well as the count of free, mapped and swept blocks.
The boundary condition information report includes only those parts with boundary conditions along with boundary condition type.
Note: Boundary condition and other information about hidden component parts may also be reported using Expose Component Parts.
A simple example is shown.
