[ICEM] ICEM CFD: Interface Question

EphemeralMemory · February 28, 2014, 17:27

So, I've been using this for a while to generate meshes, and there is one question I have that I wasn't able to solve by looking at the documentation.

Is it possible to have different viewing properties per mesh part? As in I want to see part A as a solid surface, part B as a wireframe mesh, and part C as a wireframe mesh and a solid surface. I can assign them all a single display but it would be better for picture generation (or maneuvering through the mesh) to be able to assign individual display settings.

Also, for solid surfaces, is there an option to change the transparency of the mesh? This was also something I wasn't able to find in the documentation, so I assume its a no.

Not possible with ICEM. However you can do it tecplot
