The Status Bar at the bottom of the window displays the following information:
„
Description of any processing operation that is taking place, e.g.
Importing Geometry Data.
„
Percentage fill bar showing how much of the processing operation has
been completed.
„
Displays the current action mode, e.g. ‘SELECT EDGE’. On start-up,
this field is blank.
„
Date and time.

Cursor co-ordinates (measured in the current length units). The coordinates displayed relate directly to the co-ordinates of points within the
mesh.
2.8 Introduction To The Post-Processor
The Post-Processor includes a set of utilities that allow you to look at output from your analysis in a number
of different ways. You can view output data as it changes from increment to increment, or plot variations
across the mesh. You can also compare output from separate (parent/child) analyses.
Contour plots, status plots and displacement plots allow you to look at the overall picture of what has
happened to the mesh throughout the course of the analysis.
