Chapter 11: Named Selections

The Named Selection object is a Model-level object in the tree hierarchy. The Named Selection feature allows you to create groupings of similar geometry or meshing entities.

The following sections describe the steps to create Named Selections objects and prepare them for data definition. Subsequent sections further define and build upon these techniques.

  • 11.1. Create a Named Selection Object
  • 11.2. Defining Named Selections
  • 11.3. Specifying Criteria for Geometry-Based Named Selections

  • 11.5. Applying Named Selections via the Ribbon
  • 11.6. Promoting Scoped Objects to a Named Selection
  • 11.7. Displaying Named Selections
  • 11.8. Displaying Interior Mesh Faces
  • 11.9. Scoping Analysis Objects to Named Selections
  • 11.10. Sending Named Selections to the Solver
  • 11.11. Protecting Named Selections
  • 11.12. Including Named Selections in Program Controlled Inflation
