Some criteria are applicable to all <b>Entity types</b>:
<ul><li>
<b>Belong to Geom</b> selects entities whose all nodes lie on the

selected ones.<br>
</li><li>
+<b>Deflection 2D</b> selects 2D mesh elements having distance between their gravity
+centers and underlying surfaces, which is more, less or equal (within a given <b>Tolerance</b>) to the predefined <b>Threshold Value</b>. See also a

<b>Element Diameter 2D</b> selects triangles and quadrangles composed of the edges and
diagonals with a value of length, which is more, less or equal
(within a given <b>Tolerance</b>) to the predefined <b>Threshold Value</b>. See also a
