Filter Contacts list in FEA by part or by name

Hello,

when doing FEA of welded parts I have to disable all contacts between welded parts (except for weld contacts) to simulate connection by weld only. At the moment I browse the contacts list and manually select the contacts. That is tedious.

Is there a way that I haven't found to filter/search this Contacts list by part or word? I know that there is some logic to the order and that helps, but the way that would be the best and fastest for me is to be able to :

(example)

1. Search "Weld"

2. Hide all contacts that contain "Weld" in their name

3. Now that I can't select "weld" contacts because they are hidden, select all the other contacts at once

 

If there isn't a way should I x-post this to "Ideas" as well?

 

Thanks a lot!

This response has nothing to do with your problem description, but if you are attempting FEA on weldments I recommend that you watch this video -
