Single-Selection Mode

The object selection dialog appears in a special single-selection mode for Simcenter STAR-CCM+ features that are not designed to have multiple objects selected at one time.

Single-selection mode works the same as the typical multiple-selection mode, with the following exceptions:

• You can select only one object in the panel at a time.
• Clicking a selection button toggles between selection and deselection of an object.
• If you select an object when another object in the panel is already selected, that other object becomes deselected automatically.
• The selection button will only be active for objects that are available for selection. Therefore the button is not active for manager objects, which cannot be selected.
• The header of the selection column is not a button but an indicator. Its icon appears colored when any object is selected, and clear when there is no selection.

Examples of features using single-selection mode include:

• Defining a battery module configuration
• Selecting parts for an external battery casing
• Magnetic fields -- controls for:
  • The excitation coil reference cross section
  • The local direction field
• Defining topology -- controls for:
  • Assigning parts to regions
  • Assigning part surfaces to boundaries
• Surface repair -- controls for:
  • Editing part surfaces
  • Editing part curves
