Extended modules > Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis > Using the Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis Show Properties Dialog Box

The Show Properties dialog box controls the appearance of views as seen in the Creo Elements/Direct Modeling viewport. The Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis Analysis tab in the Show Properties dialog box allows you to set the appearance of graphical study information (for example, LBCs, the mesh, and analysis results) in the viewports.

To switch on or off a display characteristic,

1. Right-click in the viewport and select Show Properties.

The Show Properties dialog box opens.

2. Click or clear the required check box.

Creo Elements/Direct Modeling redraws the contents of the viewport after you switch on or off the characteristic.

Although you can load a part containing LBCs, a meshes, and results, Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis must be running to view the results. LBCs and meshes can be viewed with Creo Elements/Direct Modeling alone.
