Set Current Model

When more than one model is loaded in a window, you can choose which model will be the current model.

The Overlay option on the Load Model panel allows you to load more than one model in a window. When this option is activated, you can choose which model will be the current model by right-clicking on the name of the model file that you would like to set as the current model, and selecting Make Current from the context menu.

This makes the panel functions available to the current model.

The results for the current load case of the active model will be displayed in the Results folder in the Results Browser, if the Model View is selected. Or you can select the Result View in order to only display the available results (on the current load case) in the Results Browser. See the Entity Views in the Results Browser topic for additional information.
