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.
