Using geometry and mesh display options

You can use the Part Display Options, Assembly Display Options, and ODB Display Options menus to customize geometry and mesh display.

Depending on the module you are using, Abaqus/CAE presents you with one of the following menu selections to customize geometry and mesh display:

ViewPart Display Options

In geometry-related modules you can use this menu item to control your geometry render style, edge visibility, curve refinement, element and node labels, and the visibility of the various types of datum geometry.

ViewAssembly Display Options

In assembly-related modules you can use this menu item to control your assembly render style, edge visibility, and the visibility of the various types of datum geometry. You can also use it to control the display of the mesh, element and node labels, part instances, loads, boundary conditions, and predefined fields in those same assembly-related modules.

ViewODB Display Options

This menu item is applicable only to the Visualization module. For more information, see Customizing plot display.

You can save the current display options and apply them to future Abaqus/CAE sessions by selecting FileSave Options from the main menu bar. For more information, see Saving your display options settings.
