Using Extended Entity Selection

HyperMesh offers an extended entity selection process. To use the extended selection method, click the entity type of the input collector while it is highlighted by the light blue cursor. A pop-up window containing the available selection techniques is displayed.

Entity type

Input Collector

Extended entity selection pop-up window.

The options shown in the above illustration are displayed for all HyperMesh entity types. Some selections are not valid for the current entity type but are still displayed as a menu item (with black text) so that the order of the items in the menu remains the same for all entity types. The pop-up window closes when the cursor is moved outside of its boundaries. Extended selection techniques are described below:

all Allows you to select all entities of the specified type. When

you select all, the set to be added to the user mark includes

entities displayed and those not displayed.

by adjacent Allows you to select entities adjacent to the entities already

selected. When you select by adjacent, HyperMesh includes

the entities which are adjacent to the entities already selected. by assems Allows you to select the entities found in an assembly. When

you select by assems, HyperMesh displays a list of the

available assemblies from which you may select.

by comps Allows you to select the entities within or attached to a

component. When you select by comps, HyperMesh displays

a list of the available components. You may select multiple

components from this list. With elements or lines, the entities

selected will be the elements or lines contained in the selected

components. With all other entities, the entities selected by

this operation will be those attached to the selected

component.
