Subpanels and Inputs

There are no subpanels on the Permute panel. All inputs and command buttons are located on the main panel.

Panel Inputs

Input	Action
entity selector	Used to select entities for permutation. Valid entity types include nodes, elements, components, lines, solids, surfaces, and points.
x <-> y	Permuting with this option exchanges the selected entities’ X and Y coordinates. For example, a node located at coordinates (45,20,15) would move to (20,45,15).
x <-> z	Permuting with this option exchanges the selected entities’ X and Z coordinates.
y <-> z	Permuting with this option exchanges the selected entities’ Y and Z coordinates.

Command buttons

The following action buttons appear:

Button	Action
permute	Performs the specified permutation.
return	Finalizes the permutation and exits the panel.
