Basic selection rules
=====================

This example shows the basic usage of selection rules, which enable you to select elements through
geometrical operations and thus to shape plies. The example only shows the PyACP part of the setup.
For more advanced selection rule usage, see
:ref:`advanced_selection_rules_example`. For a complete composite
analysis, see :ref:`pymapdl_workflow_example`.
