For information on the toolbars that are common in Simcenter STAR-CCM+, see STAR-CCM+ Toolbar Reference.

Design Manager Animation

This toolbar resembles the controls of a common video player to animate scene snapshots, where the scenes are exported as Viewer files (*.sce).

(Play/Pause): Toggles between playing the scene animation and pausing it.
(Stop): Stops the animation in the scene.
(Single Step Forward): Moves the paused animation forward one frame.
(Single Step Backward): Moves the paused animation backward one frame.

Design Manager Snapshot

This toolbar lets you step through the designs of a design set in snapshots, output tables, and study plots. For Pareto plots, you step through the Pareto cycles.

(First Design): Jumps to the first design in the design set.
(Previous Design): Steps backward to the previous design in the design set.
(Next Design): Steps forward to the next design in the design set.
(Last Design): Jumps to the last design of the design set.
(Reset Current Design): Resets the design, that is, no design is displayed.

Design Manager Vis

This toolbar lets you work interactively with scene snapshots, where the scenes are exported as Viewer files (*.sce).

(Reset View)

Restores the view to a zoom factor such that the model takes up most of the display. The view angle is unchanged. Use this function if the model has somehow zoomed or panned to such a position that you can no longer see it on the display.

(Rotate)

Rotates the view around a focal point that your most recent mouse click in the display sets.

(Rubberband Zoom)

Allows you to zoom to a specific area in the display by clicking two points that define the opposing corners of the zoomed area. Press <Esc> to cancel.

(View)

Opens a drop-down menu that allows you to set, save or restore a view.

Store Current View
Records properties about the projection mode, zoom factor, pan position and view angle and adds a node to the Views node of the simulation tree. It is named View N, where N is the first available number that is not used by existing views with the same prefix. So if you have a view, View 1, then this operation creates a view, View 2.
Restore View
Contains a submenu of saved views, including a thumbnail of the view. Select one of the submenu items to restore that view.
Projection Mode
Contains a submenu that toggles between perspective and parallel mode for the current view.
Views
Contains a submenu of standard view angles using the axes as reference vectors.
Standard Views
Contains a submenu of standard views using the aspects of the object in the scene.
View Coordinate System
Contains a submenu of coordinate systems in the simulation that a view can use.

(Previous View)

Reverses the latest change to the view.

(Next View)

Repeats a change that was subjected to the Previous View command.
