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.
