Selecting geometary objecs inside another object

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

hi,

For v4 RF, if a boundary of an object inside another object is to be selected, the one way that I know is from selection list. Is there any possibility to select it with graphical interface, by mouse click.

Thanks

Irfan

Hi

ave you tried to click several tims, normally you cycle through the objects "hit" by the projection view. Sometimes transparent or wireframe is showing it up better

Hello Irfan,

In addition to what you tried, it can help to hide objects that are in front of it. The hide-buttons are located above the graphics window.

What's more, once you have selected those "buried" surfaces, it can be helpful to save the selection. To do this, go to "Definitions" and then "Add selection". Alternatively, when you have selected them under a boundary condition, there is a small button that will automatically save the current selection. Be sure to give it an appropriate name though!

Good luck,

Ruud Borger,

Hi

do not forget that you can have several views (under definitions and under Results (postprocessing) with different "hide" levels (only for views under Definitions)

Hi, I am trying to make one side of a triangle transparent but it is not working. Is there any simple way of doing it in Comsol 5.1 for ray optics module?

This is now a really old thread, but I want to point out that the default way to select geometric entities like boundaries changed a while back. The following link should be useful when it comes to the more recent versions:
