In Autodesk CFD, you can rotate, pan, and zoom the electronics enclosure project model, as well as hide model parts,
00:12
so you can focus in on only the part of the model you need.
00:15
These essential techniques will also come in handy later when you need to assign materials to individual model parts.
00:22
Open your CFD model.
00:24
This example is an electronics enclosure that will be used for an air flow simulation,
00:30
but these navigation techniques work the same for any model.
00:33
To open up additional screen space, click the Output Bar to collapse it.
00:38
You can rotate, pan, and zoom your model using the keyboard and a three-button mouse.
00:44
To rotate the model, press SHIFT and the middle mouse button, and move the mouse.
00:49
To zoom, roll the mouse scroll wheel.
00:52
To pan, hold the middle mouse button while moving the mouse.
00:56
It can be useful to hide an exterior part to access an internal part.
01:01
For example, to visualize the internal components, first hide the casing part and then the air part.
01:07
To hide an object, hover the cursor over it and press both CTRL and the middle mouse button.
01:13
Alternatively, you can left-click the part, and then in the toolbar, click Hide.
01:19
Conversely, to show all parts, press CTRL and middle-click off the model in the graphics window.
01:25
Or, left-click a blank area off the model and then click Show All in the context toolbar.
01:32
Take some time to practice navigating your CFD model and controlling part visibility.
