Displaying Analyses on the Model Tree
All structural and thermal analyses appear on the Model Tree in both native and FEM modes. Native analyses are not visible in FEM mode and vice versa.
If you select Thermal entities in Structure on the Simulate tab of the Model Tree Items dialog box, thermal analyses appear on the Model Tree in Structure mode. If you select Structure entities in Thermal, structural analyses appear on the Model Tree in thermal mode.
The following analyses are displayed on the Model Tree:

Delete—Deletes the analysis from the model.
Delete—Deletes the analysis from the model. | You cannot delete an analysis if another analysis depends on it. You cannot delete loads and constraints that are used in an analysis. |
• Rename—Modifies the name of the analysis.
• Edit Definition—Opens the analysis definition dialog box for making changes to the definition of the analysis.
