The Outline workspace consists of objects in a tree view and a details view where you can edit those objects; the tree view appears in the top half of that pane. The details view appears beneath the tree view. For details, see Details Views.

You access the Outline workspace by clicking the Outline tab.

After starting CFD-Post and loading a results file, several special objects will exist in the Outline workspace. All of these special objects can have some of their properties edited, but the objects themselves cannot be created or deleted using CFD-Post (without using CCL commands). These objects are described in the following sections:

Objects that do not exist after loading a results file are described in CFD-Post Insert Menu.

Shortcuts available to the tree view are described in Outline Tree View Shortcuts.

Some of the settings and buttons in a details view of the Outline workspace are common for different object types; these are described in Outline Details View.
