You can create objects in Ansys TurboGrid by entering the CCL definition of the object into the Command Editor dialog box, or by reading the object definition from a session or state file. The object is created and any associated graphics shown in the viewer. For a list of valid CCL objects, see the CCL details chapter in the reference guide.

You can modify an existing object by entering the object definition with the modified parameter settings into the Command Editor dialog box. Only those parameters that are to be changed need to be entered. All other parameters remain unchanged.

There may be a significant degree of interaction between objects in Ansys TurboGrid. For example, a contour plot may depend on the location of an underlying plane, or an isosurface may depend on the definition of a CEL expression. If changes to one object affect other objects, the other objects are updated automatically.

To delete an object, type >delete <ObjectPath>. If you delete an object that is used by other objects, warnings result, but the object is deleted.

An object at the top level can be deleted by specifying its name. To delete a nested object you must enter the path of the object you want to delete. An object’s path has the syntax:

/parentObjType:parentObjName/.../objType:objName

Singletons must be specified in paths as

/SINGLETON:SINGLETON

For example, to delete an isosurface you have created called Isosurface 1, enter

/USER DEFINED:USER DEFINED/ISOSURFACE:Isosurface 1
