Select the entities you want to highlight:
- Selected pairs
-
Highlights the surfaces involved in the contact pair or pairs that are
currently selected in the contact pair candidates table. The master surface is
highlighted in red; the slave surface is highlighted in magenta. For
axisymmetric or spherical surfaces,
Abaqus/CAE
also displays the axis of symmetry or spherical center for the surface; the
axis or center point is used in surface smoothing calculations if they are
applied (see
Modifying contact pair definitions).
- Selected master
surfaces
-
Highlights the assigned master surfaces in the contact pair or pairs that
are currently selected in the contact pair candidates table. For axisymmetric
or spherical surfaces,
Abaqus/CAE
also displays the axis of symmetry or spherical center for the surface; the
axis or center point is used in surface smoothing calculations if they are
applied (see
Modifying contact pair definitions).
- Selected slave
surfaces
-
Highlights the assigned slave surfaces in the contact pair or pairs that are
currently selected in the contact pair candidates table. For axisymmetric or
spherical surfaces,
Abaqus/CAE
also displays the axis of symmetry or spherical center for the surface; the
axis or center point is used in surface smoothing calculations if they are
applied (see
Modifying contact pair definitions).
- Search
domain
-
Highlights the part instances in the model specified by the current
Search domain field (see
Specifying general search options for contact detection).
- Selected pairs +
search domain
-
Highlights both the currently selected contact pairs and the entire search
domain.
