New Window

Any number of windows (views) can be opened for a file by selecting the New Window option from the Window menu. This allows you to:

• View different data in different views (e.g. Sigma 1, Strength Factor, etc.)
• Zoom to different regions of the model in different views.
• Enable different Display Options in different views.
• Select different Contour Options in different views.
• Add different Drawing Tools in different views (e.g. contour labels , text ).
• Add different material queries in different views.

Interpret will always open a New Window by displaying a Sigma 1 contour plot. After a new window is opened, it is independent of all other windows open for the same file.

• Windows can be tiled using the Tile Horizontally or Tile Vertically options in the Window menu.
• A list of ALL windows for ALL files can always be found at the end of the Window menu (select More Windows… if you have more than 10 windows open). This is useful for switching from view to view when the window size is maximized. Windows are identified by their file name and the data they are displaying (e.g. Example.fea:Sigma 1).
