Specifies if the entity referenced by the link entity is meshed or unmeshed.

geom

Specifies that the entity needs to be connected (welded) using its geometry (connect surfaces only).

elems

Specifies that the entity needs to be connected (welded) using its mesh.

Note:Both states are applicable to assemblies, components and surfaces only. The elems option connects the mesh on the assembly, component or surface and the geom option connects the geometry on the assembly, component or surface.
For all other link entities only the elems state is applicable. The states are added to the connector entity.

After establishing link entities, they can only be modified and edited in the lower part of the Connector Browser. The functions to add link, update links and remove links is found in the browser's right-click context menu.

Note:The link entity state options for assemblies, components and surfaces are set when creating the connector, or on the Add Links panel. The state can be edited/updated in the lower part of the Connector browser as well. Therefore the extended information has to be activated in the browser configuration.
