How to add your knowledge

Using filters when modeling or meshing

    Table of contents
    No headers

    Filters are available from a drop-down list in the dialogs related to creation (Geometry tab File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight_360/0562-Modeling562/0564-Using_fi564/ac.menuaro.gif Create panel) and meshing (Mesh tab File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight_360/0562-Modeling562/0564-Using_fi564/ac.menuaro.gif Mesh Repair panel) tools.

    An appropriate subset of the filters is available in each dialog. Select one of the following filters from the drop-down list.

    Any item
    After selecting this mode, you can click anywhere in the model pane, including locations which are not on the model.
    Modeling plane
    After selecting this mode, you can click anywhere in the model pane, or on the active modeling plane to create nodes or curves.
    Node
    Click on a node to select it.
    Nearest Node
    Click on the model. The nearest existing node is selected for you.
    Curve
    Click on the model. The nearest existing curve is selected for you.
    Center of arc
    Click anywhere on an arc. The center coordinate of the circle described by the arc is selected for you.
    End of curve
    Click anywhere on a curve. The point at the nearest end of the curve is selected for you. This option is useful if, for example, you are using Geometry tab File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight_360/0562-Modeling562/0564-Using_fi564/ac.menuaro.gif Create panel File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight_360/0562-Modeling562/0564-Using_fi564/ac.menuaro.gif Curves File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight_360/0562-Modeling562/0564-Using_fi564/ac.menuaro.gif Connect Curves, and it is important that you select one end of the curve rather than the other end.
    Middle of curve
    Click anywhere on a curve. The middle point of the curve is selected for you.
    Point on curve
    Click anywhere on a curve. The closest coordinate on the curve is selected for you.
