A display group is a collection of selected model components and can contain the entire model or combinations of part instances, geometry (cells, faces, or edges), datum geometry (points, axes, planes, or coordinate systems), elements, nodes, and surfaces. Display groups allow you to reduce clutter on your screen and focus on areas of interest within your model, to access “hidden” components in complex models, and to decrease the amount of time needed to refresh the display in the current viewport. For example, you can use display groups to show contact surfaces but suppress elements or to produce a contour plot showing elements in the interior of your model that would otherwise be obscured. You can plot, save, edit, copy, rename, and delete display groups. In the Visualization module you can plot more than one display group in the same viewport, and you can customize the plot options for each display group independently.
