Library tree

On the left part of the window there is a tree with a list of libraries and cycle templates. A ll previously created libraries and libraries from the <Examples> and <Suppliers> folders are displayed here. if the < Suppliers > folder does not exist, then you need to create it in the following path: default folder of libraries ( $(Libraries_FOLDER) ) in subfolder " ProbingCycles " .

Libraries are sorted as follows: first, created user libraries are located, followed by libraries from < Examples > and < Suppliers > folders .

Elements are moved using drag'n'drop. You can move like this:

• Libraries are moved between other libraries on the same level;

• Groups are moved between other groups at the same level, from one library to another, and also from one group to another;

• Cycle templates are moved between other groups at the same level, from one library to another, and also from one group to another;

• It is forbidden to move items to libraries from < Examples > and < Suppliers > folders .

The window can also display the < SubCode for postprocessor > of each cycle template, which will be displayed in brackets after the name. To do this, you must enable the < Show expert tools > mode. How to do this is described here.

When you select an element in the tree, its parameters will be displayed in the right part of the window, which can be edited.
