Hi,

I want to load a model from a file and apply a simulation on its
geometry. I understand that I will need to use fluxed geosets on every
part of the model that will be geometrically simulated.

However, when loading the file using the pfdBuilder, it optimizes the
model for rendering speed, and the object hierarchy (and names!) becomes
unavailable.

For example, suppose I have a simple model of a house made from a cube
for the walls, three more boxes for the door and windows, and a pyramid
for the roof. The door and windows have been grouped under the name
"Windows". This is what I want to have in Performer:

Scene
+- Roof
+- Windows
| +- Window1
| +- Window2
| +- Door
+- Walls

Two requirements:
- I want to be able to access geometries by name.
- I want the grouping hierarchy preserved.

How do I do that?

Thanks!
