Function

Description

Select all, select none, reverse selection

Use these to select the items in the tree and mark them for export. You can also select individual items by clicking on them, or select multiple items by shift-clicking or control-clicking. When a loadstep is selected, the export icon next to its name is clear; when de-selected, the icon has a red "x" to indicate that it will not be exported.

Sync browser

For large models, keeping the browser in sync with other actions taken can require considerable processing time.  To alleviate this, the Loadsteps browser does not automatically sync itself with the  database.  Instead, the Sync button becomes active whenever you make changes to the current database. This allows you to perform many operations without performance issues, and then sync the browser with one click.

Filter

Filter buttons allow for additional selection control, including a name filter that uses standard filtering syntax. Use this feature to limit the tree to display only loadsteps whose names match a specific text string — either partly or completely.
