Simulation Study Tree Conventions
The Simulation study tree uses the following
conventions:
A
plus sign symbol 
to the left of an item’s icon indicates
that it contains multiple bodies (for example, assemblies or multi-body
part). Click to expand the item and display its contents.
The
software assigns the following icons to each study type for easy identification
of the study type:
|
Study type |
Study icon |
|
Static |
|
|
Frequency |
|
|
Buckling |
|
|
Thermal |
|
|
Design Study |
|
|
Nonlinear |
|
|
Drop Test |
|
|
Fatigue |
|
|
Linear Dynamic - Modal Time History |
|
|
Linear Dynamic - Harmonic |
|
|
Linear Dynamic - Random Vibration |
|
|
Pressure Vessel |
|
A
green checkmark appears on the Mesh icon when the mesh of the study is
current with the active geometry and mesh controls.
A
green checkmark appears on the component's icon when material properties
are fully or partially defined for all of the component's parts.
The
software assigns the following icons to contact conditions:
|
Contact type |
Icon |
|
Global Contact |
|
|
Contact Set |
|
|
Component Contact |
|
The
software assigns this icon 
to user-defined mesh controls.
When
you right-click an item, a right-mouse menu opens. Use this menu to quickly
access related operations.
The
icon 
may refer to either a result plot or 2D graph (used
with transient thermal, drop test, and nonlinear studies).
