    Hello Adi,

    This functionality is still available via Validate/Faces.


    Please keep in mind you need to rename the ^faces component name.
    Component starting with ^ will not be exported to the solver deck.

    Thank you @Gunter. Did want to ask, does the ^ not import to the solver deck even if I make a Component and name it ^component 1?

    Hello Adi,

    Thanks for the reply.
    Any component whose name begins with ^ will not be exported to the solverdeck.
