When you select a Contact Region object (or multiple Contact Region objects) in the tree, the context menu contains the option Create, as illustrated below. This option enables you to generate specific contact objects, results, and automatically scope the objects to the selected Contact Region or regions.
The context menu options include:
- Contact Tool
This option enables you to create a Contact Tool under the Connections folder. The application automatically scopes the tool to the selected Contact Region(s) only.
- Mesh Connection
This option enables you to create Mesh Connection objects from Contact Regions. The application scopes the new Mesh Connection objects to the geometries of the Contact Region(s) and sets the tolerance to be equal to the trim tolerance of the contact region. The Mesh connections are added into a new Mesh Connections Group folder.
- Environment Submenu
The Create option provides a submenu of options to create specific result objects for environments that include the options shown below. The application inserts the corresponding object under the Solution folder for the selected environment and automatically scopes the object to the Contact Region (or Contact Regions).
