--------------- 

After creating a CAE Group of 3D element faces, the CAE Group cannot be 

displayed in NX from the Simulation Navigator, why? Also, the CAE Group is 

displayed with Red Colored Text in the Simulation Navigator, why?

Solution

 NX 11 will not allow users to visualize a group of element faces from the 

Simulation Navigator. Users can visualize them from the Manage Groups dialog. 

Select the group, and the element faces will highlight. Edit Group will also 

exhibit this behavior. However, users cannot display just the group. NX 11 

does not have an "element face" object as a displayable entity.

Red colored groups in the Simulation Navigator implies that it cannot be 

displayed on its own, or that the CAE Group contains entities that cannot be 

displayed on their own.
