The model is displayed in a window when you open a study. Multiple windows can be opened simultaneously, and managing them is an important aspect of effective modeling.
You can open a single study in several windows to compare different aspects of the model, or you can also open different studies and view them all for comparative purposes. When you have multiple windows, you can 'lock' them so that everything that you do in one window happens in another window at exactly the same time. This topic explains how to perform the following tasks to achieve effective viewing:
- lock and unlock the view so that all the models can be manipulated in exactly the same way at the same time, that is, rotated, measured, zoomed, etc.,
- lock and unlock the plot, so that all the results can be studied in exactly the same way and at the same time,
- lock and unlock the animations, so that all the progression of results can be viewed on all models at the same time.
