Object Tree Focus

Simulation assistants can provide an object tree focus—that is, when you click a step, the relevant node in the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ object tree expands and is highlighted.

This facility is useful for users that are not familiar with the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ object tree. Object tree focus can also act as a hint to what the corresponding Star Action does, such as expanding the physics continuum models node when the task adds a model to the physics continuum.

There are two types of object tree focus:

• Inclusive — the relevant node in the object tree is expanded, leaving all other expanded nodes as they were.
  
  
• Exclusive — the relevant node in the object tree is expanded, and all other nodes are closed.
