Highlighting Specific Mesh Elements

The mesh highlight tool allows you to view areas of the mesh where specific model settings are applied.

On the 3D View contextual tabs set, on the Mesh tab, in the Tools group, click the

Highlight icon. From the drop-down list select one of the following:

None

No mesh elements are highlighted.
Lossy metal

Highlight mesh elements (faces, wires) with a metallic medium and thickness applied to it.
Coating

Highlight mesh elements (faces, wires, edges) with a coating (layered dielectric) applied to it.
CFIE / MFIE

Highlight mesh elements (faces) with either a combined field integral equation (CFIE) or magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) applied to it.
EFIE

Highlight mesh elements (faces) with the electric field integral equation (EFIE) applied to it.
Impedance sheet

Highlight mesh elements (faces) with an impedance sheet applied to it.
Physical Optics

Highlight mesh elements (faces) with the physical optics (PO) solution method applied to it.
Physical Optics (Fock regions)

Highlight mesh elements (faces) with the physical optics (PO) solution method applied to a Fock region.
Ray Launching GO

Highlight mesh elements (faces) with the ray launching geometrical optics (RL-GO) solution method applied to it.
Uniform Theory of Diffraction

Highlight mesh elements (faces) with the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) solution method applied to it.
FEM

Highlight mesh elements (regions) with the finite element method (FEM) solution method applied to it.
VEP

Highlight mesh elements (regions) with the volume equivalence principle (VEP) solution method applied to it.
Windscreen solution elements

Highlight mesh elements (faces, wires) that are specified as windscreen solution elements (windscreen antenna elements).
Aperture

Highlight a slot or aperture in an infinite plane with the planar Green's function aperture applied to it.
Numerical Green's Function

Highlight mesh elements defined as the static part using the numerical Green's function.
