File
Creates models, Saves, and Exports (to specific formats). Also saves the
Set-up for a future session and Exits the application.
Edit
Provides tools to create and edit model data. Widgets provide editing of
grid attributes (rescaling and centering), editing the grid in 2-D and
3-D, and 3D editing of initial conditions, time-varying boundary conditions,
and material properties and their location. See Section 5
for a description and Tutorial #2 (Section 3.2)
for their use.
Draw -
Provides various drawing options which include: a new window with a different
perspective, toggle controls for drawing objects (axes, wireframe, and
the grid lattice), radio-buttons for coordinate system (right- or left-handed),
colormaps, lighting model, stereo view, and other options (smoothing, depth-cuing,
wide angle perspective, and draw area size). See Section 4
for a description of setting these selections.
Tools -
Provides the primary drawing tools for scalar and vector data using multiple
orthogonal slices (vertex-, cell-based, or both) with transparent overlay
of an image, precise view control, cell contouring and multiple isosurfaces,
with transparency. Section 4 has a description
of each tool and the Tutorials in Section 3
show their use.
Remote -
This tear-off widget provides for remote tracking and steering of simulators
through a connection interface, a list of registered variables (for interactive
tracking) and a list of registered parameters (for interactive steering).
See Tutorial #3 in Section 3.3 for
additional details.
