Review model elements#

The calculation view sets the starting scope. Review its section box, hidden elements, filters and linked-model visibility. Then check how elements in scope will be represented in the analysis.

  2. Select a type and review Represent as. Use Detailed for full geometry, Box for a bounding box, Slab for a thin plate on a selected face, or Exclude to omit the type. Use category default clears a type override.
  3. Check Scene estimate for the whole calculation scope. If the captured scene exceeds 100,000 triangles, narrow the calculation view or simplify suitable elements before running again.
