Stress Analysis Customization

Hi all - 

 

I am working on doing stress analysis on a very small assembly. I am applying pressure loads on numerous faces on internal ribbing - and the load arrows always seem to be in the way of selecting more surfaaces. Here's a snapshot of what is happening:

I need to select all of those different faces for the simulation I am doing (which is proving to be very time consuming and difficult)

 

If there is an easier way to select a bunch of faces that would be of great assistance as well. - Thanks.

Sorry - I forgot to actually ask my original question: is there a way to change the display size of the load arrows? Or make them not show up at all?

Go to "Stress Analysis Settings" and change the "Global Glyph Scale".

 

Or, Edit the force in the browser, expand the "Edit Force" dialog box with the ">>" button and change glyph settings there.

You can also turn the glyphs (arrows) off:

 

"Stress Analysis" tab --> "Display" panel --> Click "Boundary Conditions".
