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).
