Substep
Each individual load substep number is displayed. You can enter a valid substep number here and that
substep will be displayed.
Sequence
The result sets are written sequentially to the results file during an analysis. This displays the sequence
number from the results file. You also create additional sequences when you append the results file or
add new loading data to your original analysis.
7.2.7.2. The Results Viewer Context-Sensitive Menus
When you enter the Results Viewer, the remainder of the GUI is disabled, preventing conflicts between
the limited data available in the Results Viewer and the functionality that can be accessed from the
other GUI areas. Many of the functions needed to deal with the results data have been moved to
“context sensitive” menus accessed via the right and middle mouse buttons.
The Results Viewer places your cursor in “picking mode” anytime you place the cursor in the graphics
window. This allows you to select data sets and other screen operations dynamically, many times without
accessing the Picking Menu. For the Results Viewer, the standard method of using the right mouse
button to alternate between picking and unpicking has been moved to the middle mouse button. The
middle mouse button allows you to change between picking and unpicking. You can choose the mode
of picking desired (selection of points on the working plane, selection of existing entities in the selected
set and selection of points on the screen). You can also access entity filters to limit those entities that
can be selected. For the two-button PC mouse, the middle button functions are activated by using the
SHIFT-RIGHT MOUSE combination.
The right mouse button is used for context menus. These menus present choices that are applicable
to the current selection. If you select “Screen Picking,” you will get a legend data context menu if the
cursor is over a legend item, and the graphics window context menu anywhere else.
If you select “WP Picking,” and no points have been selected, you will get the legend or graphics context
menus. If you have already selected points on the working plane, you will get a context menu that is
applicable to the type of analysis you are performing. If you select “Entity Picking,” and no entities are
selected, you will get the standard Graphics and Legend context menus. If you have selected entities,
you will get a context menu that is applicable to the current type of analysis.
Graphics Window Context Menu
The following items are available from the context menu you get when you right mouse click anywhere
in the graphics window except over the legend information.
