12.6 Improved display for selection of mesh parts

Product: Abaqus/CAE  

Benefits: Abaqus/CAE now highlights only the exterior edges of a mesh part when you select the entire mesh part in the viewport. This enhancement makes mesh part selection easier and clearer when you perform operations that highlight the entire mesh part, such as mesh verification.

Description: When you select an entire mesh part from the viewport, Abaqus/CAE highlights only the exterior edges of the part by default rather than the edges of all of its elements. The contrast in highlight behavior is shown in Figure 12–4.
