The Navigation toolbar allows the user to browse and select active components, assemblies, FEM joints and display sets.
Active Entity
Select active items in the FEM viewer using the intermediate form displayed below.

Another way to make an entity active in the FEM Viewer and sizing form is to select the entity in the legend. First select the Color by Model Item option.
For example, to make a component active using the legend select the Color by Component option.
Next, scroll your cursor over the item names in the legend. As you pass over them, you will see the corresponding item highlighted in the FEM window. Click the desired entity to make it active. Notice the [brackets] around the entity in the legend which indicate that item is active in the FEM Viewer and the sizing form.
