Description[edit | edit source]

Works similarly to Clear FEM Mesh, but only removes the mesh groups (including the ones automatically generated for Elmer), while keeping the mesh itself with all the elements. This can be useful to reduce the file size when exporting to any mesh format.

Usage[edit | edit source]

  1. Right-click a Netgen or Gmsh FEM mesh object in the Tree View.
  2. Select the Clear Mesh Groups option from the context menu.

Notes[edit | edit source]

The mesh can still be used by solvers other than Elmer, but has no groups associated with it.
