  • Figure 1 - Blank Interface

Purpose: This interface provides various methods of blanking (i.e., hiding or masking) selected elements. Unlike SelPar, which allows entire parts to be turned on/off, Blank operates primarily at the element level. This interface is available for both pre and post-processing phases.

As of LS-PrePost 2.2, elements are selected using the General Selection Interface. Note that in prior versions, Blank had its own built-in selection controls.

Controls:

  • Type: Type of element/entity for blanking
  • (Shell/Solid/Beam/SPH/Mass/Inertia/CNRB/Node/Curve/Surface/Any/Particle)

Apply
 Blank the selected elements

  • cb UnBlank Part - Unblank picked part
  • cbc Auto-Apply - Automatically perform Apply after selection
