Graphics Area
The graphics area displays:
Callouts for certain loads and boundary conditions
as well as mesh controls.
Plots representing stress, strain, deformation,
resonant frequencies, etc. You can split the
graphics area to display multiple results simultaneously. See
Plotting
Results and Processing
Result Plots.
Symbols representing loads, fixtures, connections,
mesh controls.
Callouts
Callouts are text-filled boxes that appear in the graphics area when
you use certain tools. You can drag callouts to position them as desired.
You can edit the values shown in callouts to manipulate the effect of
the load or boundary condition.
The following image shows a callout. You can edit the 250 value to change
the force.
Symbols
When you add a load, fixture, or other control, the software adds symbols
to the model. You can double-click these symbols to access the PropertyManager
for the control. The following image highlights a symbol for an elastic
support connector. The image also shows the symbols for a force and a
bolt connector.
You can hide or show symbols in the graphics area by right-clicking
the control in the Simulation study tree. To hide all loads, fixtures,
or connections in one operation, right-click External
Loads 
, Fixtures
, or Connections
, respectively, and select Hide
All.
To hide or show all Simulation symbols at once, do one of the following:
Click Hide/Show
Items 
(Heads-Up View toolbar) and select or clear
View Simulation Symbols 
.
Click View, Simulation Symbols 
.
When
you move the pointer over Simulation symbols, the software displays details
of the feature.
