Description: When you verify a mesh, you can now toggle the Errors and Warnings on the Analysis Checks tab to display their results separately. This new capability was added to support another new feature, the ability to save sets containing highlighted items from the viewport. Figure 11–1 shows the controls to toggle errors and warnings and to save sets containing the highlighted elements or the edges, faces, or cells (geometry) related to the highlighted elements.

The ability to save geometry sets has also been added to the Free/Non-manifold edges and Mesh gaps/intersections queries. Previously, you could save only an element set with the results from these queries.

The new Unmeshed regions query locates any model regions that need to be meshed. If there are unmeshed regions that should be meshed, Abaqus/CAE highlights them in the viewport and displays a warning dialog box. The dialog box contains controls that allow you to save a set containing the highlighted (unmeshed) regions. If there are no unmeshed regions or if the only unmeshed regions do not require a mesh (for example, analytical rigid surfaces or display bodies), Abaqus/CAE indicates in the message area that all regions are fully meshed.

All highlighted viewport results are now recognized by the display group tools. For example, you can use Replace Selected to remove all regions except those that need to be meshed. For more information about display groups, see Chapter 74, “Using display groups to display subsets of your model,” in the Abaqus/CAE User's Manual.

Mesh module:
    MeshVerify: Analysis Checks: toggle Errors and/or Warnings: toggle on Create set to save a set
        containing the highlighted results
    ToolsQuery: Unmeshed regions
    ToolsQuery: Mesh gaps/intersections or Free/Non-manifold edges
