Simulation Study Tree Conventions

The Simulation study tree uses the following conventions:

• An expand 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.
• A green check mark appears on the Mesh icon when the mesh of the study is current with the active geometry and mesh controls.
• A green check mark 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).
• The Parameters icon displays if there is a defined parameter in the study.
