The Model Browser allows you to view all the objects (parts, materials, properties, node groups, any include files, etc.) that belong to a model in a flat view or an expandable/collapsible list. By right-clicking any item in the Browser, you will be able to control the display of the objects in the graphic area.

Entity Visualization

Entities can be displayed or masked in the graphic area by clicking in the checkbox next to the entity's name in the Model Browser.  This allows you to quickly isolate an entity or a group of entities in a model.

Cross-Referencing

If you want to modify an object, it is important to know how that might affect other objects.  To see if an object in a model is linked to other objects, right-click its name in the Browser and select the option Cross Reference.  A pop-up window will appear with the name of all objects that are linked to your object, their IDs, and their type.

 

Hierarchy Mode

It is possible to create a new include file or submodel from the Model > Browser.

Include Transformation (LS-Dyna only)

Include transformation defines content on which to apply an offset, as well as a transformation.  The Include Transformation is a collection of entities,  and an instruction to move the object in a particular way.

1.From the Menu bar, select Model > Browser.
2.Select the entity and right-click on the icon.
3.Select New Include Transform.

When using the RADIOSS profile, you can approximate similar functionality by means of the //SUBMODEL and #include commands.  A standard RADIOSS transformation can then be performed on the nodes of a submodel or include.
