It&rsquo;s quite annoying to select them one by one and I can easily miss some or pick nearby edges. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: +mn-ea; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; color: black; mso-color-index: 1; mso-font-kerning: 12.0pt; language: en-US; mso-style-textfill-type: solid; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: black; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%;\">In<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: +mn-ea; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; color: black; mso-color-index: 1; mso-font-kerning: 12.0pt; language: en-US; mso-style-textfill-type: solid; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: black; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%;\">some<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: +mn-ea; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; color: black; mso-color-index: 1; mso-font-kerning: 12.0pt; language: en-US; mso-style-textfill-type: solid; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: black; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%;\">software (for example COMSOL), they have&nbsp; tools called for &#8220;select&#8221; and &#8220;deselect&#8221;. I can simply move the mouse to draw a box to select or deselect all the edges within that box. It&rsquo;s very convenient. I wonder if there are similar tools in Ansys Fluent.
