3.5.5. CREATE-SELECTION function

optional

Description

SesamX allows you to define selections of mesh entities (nodes and elements) facilitating the definition of other SesamX objects (for instance loading cases, constraints, and so on). A selection can contain both nodes and elements.

The CREATE-SELECTION function is therefore used to create a new selection for the model. To create a selection, you have to provide the nodes and elements IDs composing this selection.
