Output List
The output list is used to list pairs which are related with each other. The output list is generated by the following tools.
Geometry | Body | Intersections
Intersections tool adds the found intersecting bodies or face groups to this output list.
Geometry | Body | More Tools | Show Duplicate
Show Duplicate tool adds the found bodies to this output list. We can verify and delete unwanted bodies.
The pair list displays the relationships between entities. The first column always contains the larger volume body, which is shown in transparent mode for better visual distinction.
During face pair selection, the body associated with the selected cell is displayed in transparent mode, while the corresponding faces are highlighted using their designated group colors.
In the output list, selection can be column-wise or row-wise. The selected body pair will get highlighted in the user interface. Similarly, body selection from the graphical window or browser highlights the row in the output list.
Click the top left corner to select all the pairs. We can sort and search for a text in the table.
Copy: Copies the text in the selected cell.
Remove from List: Removes the selected rows from the table.
Select Associated: Selects all the associated body pairs for the selected cell item.
Delete Body: Deletes bodies of the selected cell from the model.
Geometry | Body | More Tools | Identify Intersecting Bodies
Identify Intersecting Bodies tool adds the found intersecting bodies to this output list. Users can visualize the entities like body, face, and element in the intersecting region by switching the options in the ‘Display Type’ as shown in the figure below.
Intersecting elements display supported only for the ‘Penetrating bodies’ option with tolerance input.
Intersecting faces display supported for the ‘Nearby bodies’ option and the ‘Penetrating bodies’ option without tolerance input.
