Box Zoom Feature

Did you know you can zoom in on any area of a model just by creating a box in the graphics window? This feature is very user friendly and provides quick access for zoom-in capability.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 Issues

Windows XP with Service Pack 2 is becoming more prevalent in use. However there are a couple of issues for which you need to be aware. These issues have to do with the license manager and the display of the online help. This note gives solutions to problems that may be encountered.

Working with Multiple Simulations in a DTF File

One feature of the DTF file format is that multiple simulations can be stored in a single DTF file. In most cases, you will be working with multiple simulations when you are running parallel computations. This is due to the fact that you must decompose the original mesh to obtain the decomposed mesh.

Using "startx" for Remote Display

In most compute environments today, users have a personal desktop (running the Windows operating system) and have access to a remote cluster to perform their simulations.  The remote cluster usually consists of a few to hundreds of powerful machines that are used by many different users.

Copy/Paste Viewpoint tools

Usually, when performing a particular simulation, it is necessary to compare the results of similar models or the same model at different operating conditions. It is important that the two (or more) cases being compared be viewed from the same angle and at the same zoom level.
