Is there a feature in patran, like Femap, that you can ask the program to highlight certain entities? I use this Femap feature a lot to trouble shoot my model, but I can't find it in Patran. Thanks

    For large models, highlighting on a few elements may not be easy to see. Using Utilities/Display/FEM Label Tool Plus you can label individual nodes and elements, which can often be clearer.
