Display of mass elements

User: "Altair Forum User"

I have created a number of mass elements for non-structural mass in Hypermesh 12 with the Abaqus solver. The mass elements are displayed as very small dots occupying only a couple of pixels, and can be lost behind shell element edges. Is there any way to change the display of mass elements - size, shape or anything?

    Hi,

     

    in hypermesh you can switch on the element handle, so you can see a word (maybe mass)

    Since V12 there is a option for the zoomlevel, at which you can see the words. Check options->graphics->value behind element handle

    Thanks, Mario, that makes things much easier to see. Another case where I couldn't find the relevant topic in the help files because I wasn't looking for the right words, I think!
