How to Rename Entities in Twin Fabrica

Renaming entities helps you better identify and manage different parts of your model, improving clarity and organization throughout your project.

This guide explains how to rename geometrical entities after importing a mesh file into Twin Fabrica, helping you organize and label your model more intuitively.

Steps to Rename Entities

1. Entity names after import: When you import a mesh file, entity names are automatically derived from the .msh file. These names represent individual volumes and surfaces in the mesh structure. Note that you can only rename entities during the new project setup stage.
2. Select the entity to rename: To rename Entity_1, find it in the tree structure under the Surfaces section and click to select it.
3. Open the context menu: Right-click the selected entity to open the context menu and choose Rename from the available options.
4. Enter the new name: In the input dialog box that appears, type a descriptive name for the geometrical entity and click OK to apply the change.
5. Verify the name update: The new name will appear in the tree structure, confirming the successful rename.
