The piping model displays in multiple dedicated windows:
Input 3D View - 3D visualization of piping geometry
Output 3D View - 3D visualization of analysis results (displacements, stresses, etc.)
Analysis Output - Tabular data showing analysis results (stresses, support loads, displacements, etc.)
Switch between windows using: View > Input 3D View
Dockable Floating Windows:
Pipe Elements List - Complete inventory of pipe elements and their properties
Pipe and Node Properties - Properties of selected elements and adjacent nodes
Error and Warning Messages - Displays validation messages after input data check
Displacements - Shows displacement values at any point along pipe axis in the output 3D view
Floating windows can be moved and docked to any screen edge. Click and drag the window title bar to display docking guides. Click a docking marker to attach the window to that screen edge.
Auto-hide floating windows to maximize workspace by clicking the pin icon in the window title bar. Hover over the window tab to temporarily display the hidden window.
