Model Selection

Purpose:

This interface is used to open and select multiple models during both pre-processing and post-processing. During the pre-processing phase, it allows switching of models. Translations are only for model display mode only. No permanent changes are made to the models through this interface.

Multiple model results loaded through binary files d3plot, d3thdt, d3drlf, and lspost databases can be post-processed together or individually. In order to facilitate animation of multiple models that have different termination times as well as different numbers of states, users can select whether to synchronize to the model that has the smallest state or largest.

Multiple models by default are displayed at their original position. If the user desires to move the models for side by side comparisons, translate can be use to translate models to suit the users preference
