Address out-of-date browser nodes

In a simulation setup, changes to the model can cause the parent node of an affected child node to display the Update Required icon .

After you run a simulation, if you change any of the simulation conditions, or if you edit the part geometry, the current results are invalid. The lightning bolt symbol next to the results node indicates the invalid status.

1. Right-click the parent node with the icon, and click the applicable Update command.
2. After the update, if a Warning icon displays next to the parent node, issues still exist. Expand the parent node to view the child node with the Warning icon.

For example, the following is a potential workflow associated with the stress analysis of a bracket assembly.

1. Create a simulation.
2. On the ribbon, click Stress Analysis tab Contacts panel Automatic Contacts
3. Click Manual Contact and add a minimum of one manual contact to the model.
4. Return to the Assembly environment, and delete a component involved in a manual contact.
5. Enter the Stress Analysis environment. The Update Required icon is present next to the Contacts node. Expand all nodes under Contacts and view the Warning icons.
6. Right-click the Contacts node , and click Update Automatic Contacts. The solver re-evaluates the interfaces and makes appropriate contact changes.

Since the component involved in the manual contact is deleted, the manual contact does not resolve. The Warning icon remains next to this manual contact, and the Contacts node also shows a Warning icon.

In general, the Warning icon at the parent node indicates that at least one unsuppressed child node has a warning. If all child nodes with warnings are suppressed, the parent node is treated as healthy and no Warning icon displays.
