Count Panel
Use the Count panel to obtain a count of all the entities in your database.
Location: Tool page
You can count selected entities, displayed entities, or all entities in the model. When you click displayed or all entities, the counter fields for all affected entities are updated in all subpanels. Entities that fit the category are not counted. For example, when you click to count displayed entities, the mats and props fields are blank because these entities do not display in Engineering Solutions.
A component is considered "displayed" if either its elements or its geometry (or both) are displayed.
The selected function counts the entities that are currently selected. It returns the number of selected entities, and all entities which are related to the selected entities. For example, when components are selected, selected returns the number of components, the number of elements in the selected components, the number of lines in the selected components, and the number of nodes that are attached to the counted elements.
Counting all is faster than counting selected.
