Data Tips

Data Tips allow you to quickly access information about model input parameters, and analysis results, by simply hovering the mouse over the desired model entities or locations. This includes:

By default, the Data Tips display mode is OFF (i.e. data tips are not displayed). To enable Data Tips, click on the Data Tips button on the Status Bar (at the bottom of the application window), until you see the desired option, or select from the Data Tips sub-menu in the View menu.

The following options are available.

Data Tips Max

The Data Tips Max option will provide the maximum amount of information for each entity.

Data Tips Min

The Data Tips Min option will provide a minimal amount of information for each entity.

Data Tips Query

The Data Tips Query option will display exact values of contour data at any point on the contours, corresponding to the current cursor location.

Data Tips Off

Since you will not always want Data Tips to be enabled, you can turn off the Data Tips display by selecting Data Tips Off.

In general, experiment with placing the cursor over various model and view elements, while in Data Tips mode, to discover what information is available for the various model and view elements. For example: Field Stress information is displayed by hovering the cursor over the Stress Block, while using either Data Tips Max or Data Tips Min.
