Create 

Derived Load Case

Create a Steps, Linear-Superposition, or Envelope derived load case.

Cached Result

Create an internal cache for applied contour results.  See the Cashing Results topic for additional information.

Derived Result

Add user-defined data types to a result using the Expression Builder dialog.

The Expression Builder will automatically launch and initialize the data type in the Results browser selected (by right-clicking on it).

Image Plane

Create a 2D or 3D image plane.

Measure

Create a measure.

Note

Create a note.

Plot Style

Create a plot style (based on a predefinition of the settings applied on a plot).

This option will only appear if a contour, vector, or tensor plot has been applied to the model.

Section Cut

Create a planar or spherical section cut.

Set

Create a set.

Streamlines

Create a rake/streamline.

System

Displays a dialog which allows you to create a user defined system.

Tracking System

Create a tracking system.

View

Save an unlimited number of views.

Edit

Edit options/settings for to the currently selected item.  Upon selection of the Edit option, the corresponding panel or dialog for the selected item will be displayed.  For example, if a note is selected, the Notes panel will be automatically displayed.  The action of the Edit option is dependent on the item selected.

Delete

Displays a dialog which allows you to delete the selected item.

Rename

Rename items in the browser by entering a new name in the name text field and pressing ENTER.  You can cancel the rename operation by pressing ESC.

Make Current

Make a selected item current (when more than one is available).  For example, a particular model, load case, plot, or tracking system can be made current by right-clicking on the item in the browser and selecting Make Current from the context menu.

This option is not available in the Component view.

Plot

Apply a contour, tensor, or vector plot to the model or the current selection.

Clear Plot

Clear a contour, tensor, or vector plot (if applied); or clear all of the plots applied to the current model.

Show

Displays the item in the graphics area.  This selection affects each item’s local display control.

You can also use this on the entire folder.  In such cases, this shows all of the items within that folder (all components for example, etc.).

Hide

Turns off the item in the graphics area.  This selection affects each item’s local display control.

You can also use this on the entire folder.  In such cases, this hides all of the items within that folder (all components for example, etc.).

Isolate

Works locally within a specific entity type. For example, if Component(s) are isolated, then all display states of other displayable entities (such as Systems) remain untouched. Isolate displays only the selected entities, turning their display state to on, and turning all other entities of the same type off.

Isolate Only

Similar to Isolate, except that it also affects entity types different from the selected entities.  This turns off ALL displayable entities (regardless of type) except for the selection one(s).

Show Manipulator

Displays the graphical manipulator in the graphics area for section cuts, streamline rakes, and image planes.  The graphical manipulator allows you to modify the location and shape of the section cut, rake, or image plane interactively.

Note: Area rakes without the Evenly distributed option activated cannot be graphically manipulated.

The graphical manipulator is linked to the entity display; therefore if the display of the selected entity is turned off, it will get turned back on when the graphical manipulator gets displayed.  See Display State of Graphical Manipulators for additional details.

Hide Manipulator

Hides the graphical manipulator in the graphics area.

This option is only active when there is a graphical manipulator currently displayed in the graphics area. See Display State of Graphical Manipulators for additional details.

Include in Section Cuts

Include the selection in a section cut.

The Model view or Component view must be active within the Results browser in order to access this option.

Exclude from Section Cuts

Exclude the selection from a section cut.  The entities that are excluded will not be cut through when a section cut is applied (or turned on).  This can be useful for investigating models that are surrounded by large domains of mesh (ground, fluid, etc.).  For example, in streamline visualization the model can be excluded from the section cut in order to cut through the fluid only (when the Model view is activated).  By default, the streamlines are excluded from section cuts.

The Model view or Component view must be active within the Results browser in order to access this option.

Collapse All

Collapses all items in the tree structure so that only the top-most level of items displays.  If you have a particular entity or folder selected in the browser and select Collapse All, then this option only collapses the items beneath the currently selected entity or folder.

Expand All

Expands all items in the tree structure, exposing every item nested at every level.  If you have a particular entity or folder selected in the browser and select Expand All, then this option only expands the items beneath the currently selected entity or folder.

Export Styles

Opens the Export Styles dialog where you can export the current styles as an xml file.

The Result view must be active within the Results browser in order to access this option.

Import Styles

Opens the Import Styles dialog which allows you to import an xml file containing previously saved styles.

The Result view must be active within the Results browser in order to access this option.

Model
Properties …

Opens the Model Properties dialog for the current model.

Or

Opens the Model Properties dialog for the selected model (if a model file other than the current model is selected in the Model Files view).

The General tab provides information about the model and results file, and the Statistics tab displays the model and results files in a tree-like structure.

Configure Browser…

Opens the Browser Configuration window which allows you to determine what entity types, columns, options, and toolbars are displayed in the Results browser.
