Simulation browser

In an assembly, the Simulation Browser displays the document name with unique simulation nodes beneath it. The component, part, or assembly, can have multiple simulations. Each simulation node contains the assembly and its components in a hierarchical view with nested levels of feature and attribute information (nodes). Nested under the component are the subcomponents and or feature information. Additionally, folders for Material, Constraints, Loads, Contacts, Mesh, and Results are provided.

The component node displays the assembly components based on the View Representation you specify. You can select features in the browser and apply loads and constraints to the selection. When you select a feature in the browser, the feature highlights in the model. When in an assembly, you can hide parts to access inputs.

Each simulation can have a different set of materials, parametric dimensions, loads, constraints, and corresponding sets of results. You can copy loads and constraints between simulations. When you select a Results node, a results window opens. In the window, you can view the outcome of the simulations and compare iterations. The browser background for inactive simulations is gray to differentiate between the active and inactive state.

Each node has a context menu with commands available for that context.
