User Interface Components This section discusses the following interface components of the software: Contents Graphics Area Analysis Preparation CommandManager When the active document is a SOLIDWORKS part, an Analysis Preparation tab is added to the CommandManager when you add in SOLIDWORKS Simulation, SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, or SOLIDWORKS Plastics. Simulation Study Tree The Simulation study tree organizes an analysis study. Its functionality is similar to the FeatureManager design tree. You can use the menu system or the Simulation study tree to manage analysis studies. Simulation Toolbar The Simulation toolbar provides you with shortcuts to frequently used operations. You can customize the toolbar by adding buttons, hiding them, or moving them around. The behavior is identical to SOLIDWORKS toolbars. Expressions in Input Fields You can type expressions in fields that allow numerical inputs. Parent topicSOLIDWORKS Simulation Fundamentals
