Checkbox in CFX pre - what for?

flattie · June 2, 2009, 19:09

Does the checkbox in front of a mesh or a domain, allow one to suppress that domain by unchecking it? I am curious if this is how one might be able to suppress a domain so that it does not participate in the solve.

It just controls visibility in the Viewer. You can't suppress a domain, but any mesh components not assigned to a domain will not be used.

Thanks! So conceivably I could replace the mesh on a domain but leave the old one, by just changing the domain definition to point to the new so that the old mesh is basically a domain-less orphan?

This might be what I may need to relatively easily switch between 2 meshes.

Let me know if this is a bad plan, I realize it may be laborious.
