What Does "Attached to" Actually Mean?

In this context attached generally means "anything connected to, or referenced by, what is currently visible".

This is a wider definition than the strictly structural " any elements attached to visible nodes " which, initially, might seem to be the more obvious method. The figures above show why this is so:

• Figure (4) shows the * BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION_SET (Labelled as DISP_T_X ) applied to all the edge nodes on the left of the picture.

• Because the set used by this includes nodes on the end of the light blue part (visible in figure (5)) then elements attached to this part have become visible.

• Consequently the light and dark blue parts eventually become visible, even though they have no physical connection to the red and green ones.
