The functions provided in Preprocess are used to construct or modify the model. The design of the dialog box enables the user to reduce the number of clicks to switch rapidly between line, surface, element, and node functions and the Model Check/Repair function. The user may also use the shortcut keys and function keys for switching. Refer to Appendix for detailed information about shortcut keys. The Preprocess dialog box is illustrated in Figure 5.1.
