Saving a selection list

The Selection List allows you to save a list of selected entities so that you do not have to reselect the same individual entities each time. This can then be used for quick selection and for point of reference to complement model layers, and when modeling or meshing.

  1. Open a model.
  2. Click Select (Geometry tab > Selection panel > Select).
  3. Highlight the entities of your choice on the model.
    Tip: The Save Selection List drop-down list displays the entity number and the character used to indicate the selected entity. For example, N12 indicates node 12, T35 indicates triangle element 35, B400 indicates beam element 400 etc.
  4. Click Save Selection (Geometry tab > Selection panel > Save selection). The Save Selection List dialog appears.
  5. Enter a name and click OK.
  6. Click the drop-down arrow in the Select Saved Selection list to see the saved lists available for you to select.
