Unlinking a Mesh

When a mesh is unlinked, the simulation mesh is converted to a separate mesh part that can be edited.

1. In the model tree, select the geometry or mesh part that has a corresponding simulation mesh.
2. Unlink the mesh using one of the following workflows:
   • On the Mesh tab, in the Simulation Mesh group, click the  Unlink Mesh icon.
   • From the right-click context menu, select Unlink Mesh.
3. On the Unlink Mesh dialog, two options are available:

   • Transfer solution entities to new port(s) check box cleared

     Unlink the mesh and create a separate mesh part. Mesh ports are created but the sources, loads and solution entities are not transferred.

   • Transfer solution entities to new port(s) check box selected

     Unlink the mesh and create a separate mesh part. Mesh ports are created but the sources, loads and solution entities are transferred to the new ports on the separate mesh part. S-parameter configurations are updated accordingly.

   When the simulation mesh is unlinked, the geometry ports connected to the selected geometry remain, but equivalent mesh ports are created with new labels. For example, if a geometry port has the label “Port1”, the mesh port is labelled “Port1_1”.

4. Click OK to unlink the mesh and to close the dialog.
