Can I highlight a node or an element by its ID to locate it in the model?

[Karthik Remella]

Yes, you can insert a Named Selection and select the Scoping Method as Worksheet. In Worksheet, you have option to select a node or an element based on Node ID or Element ID criteria. Once you generate this Named Selection and select it, it will highlight the corresponding entity in the graphics. It is advisable to use Wireframe Display option to see it easily.
