App Description

This extension allows you to group nodes or elements (generate named selections) by layer for solid elements that have been meshed in layers.

You can create named selections for node or element .
You can specify the “prefix” and the “start number” for the generated named selection objects.
If a stair (a step caused by a difference in the number of elements between layers) is present, the elements are grouped excluding the stair.
You can also stop the process when a step is found (step cancellation feature).
Only hexa and wedge elements can be processed. Intermediate nodes of higher-order elements are excluded from grouping.
