12.3 Persistent display of seeds

Product: Abaqus/CAE

Benefits: You can now display the seeds on a part or assembly throughout all meshing operations, rather than just for seed definition and customization.

Description: By default, Abaqus/CAE displays the seeds you have defined on a part or assembly only when you are defining or customizing the seed placement. You can now toggle on persistent display of seeds so that they appear even when you are performing nonseeding-related operations in the Mesh module. The Show Mesh Seeds button is available on the Visible Objects toolbar, shown in Figure 12–2.
