3D Mesh Compartment context menu

Hide  (Only for context menu in a view) Hide it in your view.

Show Legend  Show or hide a legend for it in your 3D View.

Display Settings

Color  Pick a color to display it in the view.

Render Mode  Select whether to display as lines, points or a surface.

Depth Method  Select to display the data points at the top of the view, bottom of the view box, at a specified (fixed) depth or at the depth of the depth property (using real depth values if available).

Transparency   Make it semi-transparent. Adjust the opacity value from the Property Inspector.

Lighting   Turn a lighting effect on or off. The lighting effect can enhance the visibility of contours.

Contours  Show or hide contour lines relating to the display of properties on a grid or surface.

Contour Labels  Show labels on contour lines.

Contouring Options   Open the Contouring Options form to specify a wide range of contouring settings.

Interpolation   This display setting affects the (color) interpolation of the object displayed in your view. Without interpolation, the color boundaries are sharp; with interpolation switched on, the boundaries are smoothed.

Create  

Create Point Set Using Element Center   Create a point set using element center as location for the nodes in the point set.

Create Point Set Using Element Nodes   Create a point set using element nodes as locations for the nodes in the point set.

Create Node Property From Volumes   Create a node property from the selected volume(s) that you can use for further calculations and visualization. The volume can either be the full volume, a compartment or a zone.

Create Element Property From Volumes   Create an element property from the selected volume(s) that you can use for further calculations and visualization. The volume can either be the full volume, a compartment or a zone.

Assign to Zone  Assign the compartment to a zone. Compartments that are not assigned to a zone will lead to simulation errors.

Properties  

Set Active Property   Select a property for display in the 3D View. You can also select properties to view using the visibility checkboxes in the JewelExplorer.

Default Geometry Properties   Opens a predefined list with properties. When you select a property, the values for this property are calculated, the property is added to the JewelExplorer and displayed in the active view. If you update the geometry of the object, the property is automatically recalculated. For tri-meshes and 3D meshes, you can choose from multiple mesh quality properties to help you assess the quality of the mesh. See Checking the quality of the tri-mesh and Checking the quality of the volume mesh for more details.
