Create Elements Set¶
In one sentence: Define a named set of individual mesh elements by ID for selective post-processing or constraint application.
Overview¶
Workbench: FEM
Menu: FEM → Mesh → Create Elements Set
Defines a named set of individual mesh elements by element ID. Unlike FEM Mesh Group (which is geometry-based), an Elements Set is a manual selection of specific elements already in the mesh.
When to use it¶
- Fine-grained control over which elements appear in a result extraction.
- Selective material zone assignment.
- Identifying a specific subset of elements for output.
