Error in Element Selection by Part for Compound Parts

Bug Reports
1

I’ve noticed an issue in selection of elements with compound parts, where the element selection goes beyond the bounds of the selected part. It looks like the element selection is extending to elements which share common nodes with the elements that are actually within the part bounds. I feel like I’ve seen this bug reported before, but I couldn’t find it anywhere in the recent bug reports/posts. Apologies if this is a duplication of a known report that is already open.

I’ve tested this with the current release 2.2.0 and 2.2.11 dev and observe the issue in both. I tested in 2.1.0 and did not observe the issue.

This is what I am experiencing (2.2.0 and 2.2.11 dev):

I tried to reproduce the problem but I failed. Can you explain which feature you are creating (Element set, Secion assignment) and what settings (print-screen) are you using?

Meshing Parameters “Advanced” > Mesh operation: Split comp. mesh= No, Merge comp. parts= No

create Element Set → set selection to part → Elements of adjacent parts are also selected:

Up to V2.1.0 the selection was only limited to elements of the selected solid:

Exactly this. Couldn’t have shown it better myself. Thanks Gunnar!

Aaa, OK. Now I understand. I will try to fix it back as it was. Now I am wondering why I changed it in the first place…

I added some speed improvements and changed the code. I fixed it back :slight_smile:
