Plot the model from anywhere. When the static model generator displays the model: (panel at right)

Enter File:Keyboard

May need to read the regions:

The set the point size so that it is easy to see:

point_radius, 3

Then enter the region that should be plotted:

draw, region, 1

This will show all nodes in the model that are considered in region #1. The regions are prioritized from left to right as shown above in yellow.

PAD/HEADER AT JUNCTION

Find the regions that are of interest in the model. Taken from the region file:

'Pad/Header at Junction'

'Branch at Junction'

'Branch Transition'

'Pad Outer Edge Weld'

'Header Outside Pad Area'

'Branch removed from Junction'

'Pad removed from Junction'

Header outside pad area.
