The GMS window is divided into seven main sections:

Menu Bar

The File, Edit, Display, Window and Help menus are always available. Other menus change based on the module or numerical model in use.

XYZF Bar

These fields are used to edit the coordinates and scalar data set values of selected items (vertices, nodes, scatter points, etc.).

Shortcut Toolbars

The shortcut toolbars are shortcuts to often used menu commands.

Graphics Window

The Graphics Window is where data is rendered and the user interacts with the data using tools.

Mouse Tracking Bar

This shows the real world coordinates of the mouse in the Graphics Window. If the mouse is over a cell, triangle or element, the F value is the dataset scalar value and the ID is the object's number. For 3D Grids, the IJK of the cell is also shown. The progress bar is also found here.

Project Explorer

The Project Explorer contains a hierarchical representation of the data associated with a modeling project.

Example of the Project Explorer


Status Bar

The Status Bar is used to display messages and information about selected items. It also shows the display projection.
