The second set of buttons in the toolbar provides access to the LS-DYNA sense switches. LS-DYNA sense switches can be sent to the selected job during the simulation by creating a sense switch file (d3kil) in the input file directory. This includes stopping a running job. See LS-DYNA Keyword User's Manual Volume I for more information on using sense switches.

A job stopped with "sw1" will create a d3dump file. This file can be used to continue the simulation by doing a simple restart analysis. This is done by right-clicking on the job and select "Continue with simple restart".
