After creating contacts, I want to hide contact surface representation to do another set-up, but I am unable to do this?

Could you advise for this?

    Hello Alpha

    We can Hide the contacts surface representation in the SimLab GUI by clicking on the Contact icons in the solution browser.

     

    Each individual contact can be Hidden or Visualized by clicking on their respective contact icon in the solution browser. All the contacts created can be hidden or visualized at once by clicking on the main Contacts icon in the browser.

    I have also attached a demo video for the same.

     

    Kindly let us know if you face any difficulties

     

     

     

    Thanks & Regards

    Hello Alpha

     

    Yes, the Hide Entities option in the right click  for Contact is used to hide the faces which are included in the contact rather than hiding the Contact marker.

     

     

    Thanks & Regards
