Save time – work smarter, not harder. Take advantage of the themes you have
configured.
A theme is a snapshot of the visual state of your model. It includes the
status of your layers, your drawing elements, your rendering options and other
visualizations such as control lines, measurements, boundary conditions and
arrows. Change one element and you have a different theme.
Work with Themes
Under Layer themes from the right-click menu and
in the list of Themes from a dashboard, you will find a list of all the themes
that you have saved for your model. A theme can be considered as a snapshot. The
snapshots represent the status of your parameters, attributes, etc. at a
specific point in time during the operation of your model.
When you create a new theme it is immediately added to the list of themes in
the right-click menu as well as to a dashboard. You can customize the list of
themes to suit any of your needs using filters. You can for example decide that
you need a set of themes for any of your zones or sub-models. You can create
themes to display information of a more static nature, such as the dimensions of
the supply pipes or themes of a more dynamic nature and where the display is
determined by the simulations results, such as the flow in the network or the
temperature variation.
To create a new theme (snapshot)
- Open the required layer, right-click and select Layer Themes, and then Add
Current Theme.
- Enter a name for the layer and click OK.
The new layer will automatically be added to the list of themes.
When you create new views and themes these are automatically added to the
list of filters under the dashboards.
