Right-clicking on an item in the Auto Contact browser displays a context menu which offers options for modifying the surfaces and contact pairs.
The following options are available from the Auto Contact browser's context menu:
Option |
Description |
Rename |
Rename an existing entry. |
Delete |
Delete items from the browser. |
Swap Master - Slave |
Switches the surfaces identified as master and slave. When selected, you will see the surfaces flip from the master/slave positions in the browser. Select multiple entities by using the CRTL and Shift keys when clicking on entities. |
Swap CP - Tie |
Changes the type of interface created. Because a surface interaction is required for Contact Pair but not for Tie, any surface interaction identified earlier will be lost upon a swamp from CP to TIE. (If you switch back from TIE to CP, the surface interaction will not be retained.) |
Edit Faces |
Opens the Elements Selection panel, from which you can select and deselect the elements to include on the face of the surface, and edit the faces of the surfaces. |
Add by Adjacent |
Adds adjacent elements to the selected surface. |
Add by Face |
Adds all elements to a selected surface, until the feature angle exceeds the value (the feature angle can by set by clicking the Options icon). |
Accept All/None |
Automatically accept or reject all items in the Auto Contact browser. |
Reverse |
Reverses the current selections in the Accept column. |
Expand All/ Collapse |
Expands or collapses folders in the Auto Contact browser. |
