 Show/Hide element free edge
Shows/hides the B-Spline.
A B-Spline is where the node is not shared between 2D
elements.
 Show/Hide
Element coordinate system
Shows/hides the element coordinate system.
Because the element coordinate system is determined
by the order and direction of the element, a unified coordinate
system is necessary for a consistent load output. The
element coordinate system can be modified at Mesh >
Element > Parameter > Change CSys
 Show/Hide
Material coordinate system
Shows/hides the material coordinate system.
The user can also view the material coordinate system
by selecting the mesh at Work tree > Mesh and then
right mouse click > Display > Material CSys.
 Show/Hide
Node ID
Shows/hides the node ID.
This function is useful when checking the results at
a particular node.
 Show/Hide
Element ID
Shows/hides the element ID.
This function is useful when checking the results at
a particular element.
 Query Node/Element
Checks the information of a specified node/element.
The user can input the particular node/element number
or click the node/element on the screen. The information
is displayed in the output window.
 Active
Element
Shows/hides desired meshes that make up the total model.
This function if effective when working with large complex
models because it shows partial models.
Selecting [All] shows all elements and the [Previous]
button undoes the enabling/disabling of the element.
 Active
All Elements
Returns to the original state (view all elements) after
Activating partial elements.
 Measure
distance
Measure the distance or angle between two points.
This function plays the same role as Geometry > Tools
> Measure.
