Figure 1 Set group in the FFlex Edit tab
A set is a group of FE entities and it is useful because there are so many FE entities to select from in a typical FE mesh.
The user can create node sets, element sets and patch sets, which are easier to select than the individual entities.
A component is a group of the same element type or the same property.
• If two or more elements have the same type, then the element component is created automatically.
• This is also true of property components.
Sets and components, once created, are selectively displayed using the Display command.
