Spots and Conections


I have a few Questions to SimSolid.
How can I change a once created Spots (Create Spot for forces etc.) and where can I select / find them in the model tree? If several Spots laying over each other it is very difficult to select them correctly.
Is there a possibility to create Spot pattern, not Spot welds?
How can I suppress Spot areas for design studies?
How can I identify fast and easy the connection between two bodies?
Review part connections isn't that useful,
I have parts that have several thousand connections to other parts.
It would be nice if I could select only the parts I’m interested in and find only the connections between these parts.
Why can't I hide / show several assemblies at once and have to switch them one by one?

Wow, many questions. Probably best to talk to an Altair technical representative directly but I will try to answer a few:
- Spots are found in the Project tree under the part that they are defined on
- Not possible to create spot patterns at this time
- Cannot suppress a spot, just don't apply any BC to it and it will be ignored in the simulation
- Use Add/edit part connection to create connection between two specific parts
- Right click on a part and select Review part connection. this will only show you the connection to the specific part you selected
- In the project tree use CTRL and SHIFT to select multiple sub-assemblies then right menu select and Hide/Show
