controlling display

Altair Forum User

Hi,

 

is there a way to save the display for a group of components, for later retrieval?

Similar to groups in LSPP.

I am working on a large assy. with more than 1000 components and controlling

what you want and not want to see is cumbersome.

 

What suggested technique should be applied in such situation?

 

Thanks,

kdg

kdg,
 
Great question.
Inside your model browser, right click and hover on 'Create', then select 'View.'

When you create a View, HyperMesh saves the current model’s graphics settings in the browser. Saved views include all of the visible effects of settings such as masks, zoom/pan, X/Y/Z orientation, and whether or not any given component's FE or Geometry is displayed. You can save multiple views (named view1, view2, and so on), and then switch back and forth between them by selecting each view from the browser.
This is a valuable feature that is probably under-utilized.
