Detailed Descriptions#

Project tree#

Hierarchical organization of project components, providing structured access to simulation elements.

  • Expandable/collapsible structure

  • Visual status indicators

  • Direct component access

  • See Project tree for more details

More#

Additional project management options accessible via a three-dot menu.

  • Import/Export simulation settings

  • Import/Export viewpoints

View only#

Notification that the project is currently being viewed in view-only mode.

  • Simulation parameters cannot be changed in this mode

  • To exit, click on New run or select a component from the project tree

Assets#

assets Central repository for project-related resources and files.

  • Information about each asset

  • Downloadable files list for each asset

Resource#

resource Import geometry resources and sample surfaces.

  • Geometry resource: Import additional geometry files (GeometryAI only)

  • Sample surface: Import sample surface data

Probe#

probe Show location of entered coordinates or show coordinates of a clicked location.

  • Enter coordinates to highlight a location in the viewer

  • Click on geometry to display coordinates of that point

Measure#

Measure the distance between two points in the viewer.

Click the measure icon to open the Measure panel, then pick two points in the viewer. Each point is placed where you click on the surface shown in the viewer (geometry, mesh, results or a slice), as with Probe. On geometry, this is the displayed tessellation of the CAD, so on curved faces the point can lie slightly off the exact surface. Points are not moved to the nearest mesh node or edge.

  • First point and Second point: the location of each picked point and the name of the entity it lies on

  • Distance: the total distance between the two points and its x, y and z components

Click Exit to close the tool.
