Name Selection for particular entity from group
Hello,
I have questions about creating Name Selection, about control and automation of this operation.
- How can I create a separate NS for an individual entity from a selected group for each individual entity from the group. For example. I do not want to create one NS for the selected faces, but I want to create 1 NS for each of the selected faces. I am NOT interested in the situation form the first picture. I am interested in the situation form the second picture. Separation of NS for each of the eight faces, but in an automatic (semi-automatic way), so that I do not have to select each face separately and create manually a NS for it.I am not.dditionally how can I create a Nodal Name Selection for such NS but in one operation (automatic or semi-automatic way) or using one sheet. Again I need 1 NNS for each NS selection.
- cronyms: NS - Name Selection, NNS - Nodal Name Selection

Thanks in advance for your help.
EDIT: I was not able to add pictures.

Check the Object generator tool. This works for creating named selection with faces
Example:
Created a named selection with all holes, and another named selection with one hole
THen use object generator:
Click on One hole in tree,
click on Object generator in menu
Select all holes in object generator window and click on Generate
You should see the NS created for each hole :
This is not applicable for nodal named selection
Hi,
Thanks @gnagapp for your reply and instruction for NS. It was helpful.
If it is not possible to create NNS by object generator, maybe it is possible to do it by commands or some script or code?
