From > > , you can specify the following.
| Preference | Description |
|---|---|
| Graphics Style | |
| Controls the graphics style of the Ansys Workbench,DesignModeler, Meshing, and Mechanical applications. | |
| Workbench Theme | Sets the apperance of multiple Workbench user interface components.
Select from the following options:
|
| Background Style | Sets a solid graphic background or a gradient background that varies from top to bottom, left to right, or diagonally. The default is the top to bottom gradient. |
| Background Color | Sets a graphic background color from the built-in color palette. The default color is blue. |
| Background Color2 | Sets a second graphic background color from the built-in color palette. The second color is used for gradient background displays. For example, if you want a top-bottom gradient that starts out white and ends up black, Background Color should be set to white and Background Color2 should be set to black. The default color is white. |
| Text Color | Sets the color of all text from the built-in color palette. The default color is black. |
| Edge Colors | Sets the edge colors from the built-in color palette. |
| Meshed | Sets the color of all meshed edges from the built-in color palette. The default color is black. |
| Display | |
| Controls how Workbench displays information. | |
| Number of Significant Digits | Sets the number of digits that appear for numbers in Ansys
simulation environments. The default is 5 and possible values are 3 through 10.
This setting affects only the numbers that are displayed. It does not imply any numerical round-off of internal calculations. When a user-entered number has a decimal halfway between two integers, the number is rounded to the nearest even integer. For example, a value of 20.5 is rounded down to 20, while a value of 21.5 is rounded up to 22. |
| Number of Files in Recently Used Files List | Sets the number of files that appear in the Recently Used
Files list for both the File menu
and the context menus. The default is 4
and the maximum number of files that you can display is 20. If the number specified here exceeds the number of recently used files that are available, the list displays the available number. This setting is applied to the current Workbench session. |
| Beta Options | When selected, beta features are displayed with the word beta in parentheses. This check box is
cleared by default. Beta features remain untested in this release and therefore are neither documented nor supported and may result in unpredictable behavior. The beta option on Linux for Mechanical Explicit Dynamics is not passed to the solver and as such has no effect for solver related beta functionality. |
| Unsupported Features | When selected, displays deprecated features, with the word unsupported in parentheses, in the
Toolbox. This check box is cleared by default.
While unsupported features may still be used in older projects, we recommend updating projects to currently supported features. Because these features are unsupported, they may not function correctly in newer versions of the product. |
| Text on Toolbars | When selected, displays text labels on toolbars. This check box is
selected by default. This option applies to the Ansys Workbench interface, the Mechanical application, the Meshing application, and DesignModeler only. |
| Connections are Bundled at Startup | When selected, displays connections between systems as a single link.
The label indicates all bundled connections. For example, linked systems
that shared Engineering Data,
Geometry, and Model cells
display a single link with the notation 2:4, indicating that cells two (Engineering
Data) through four (Model) are
connected. This check box is cleared by default. This setting defines the initial default for all projects and can be overridden within each project by selecting > , or by selecting this option from the context menu on the Project Schematic. Use of this option affects only newly created projects. |
| System Coordinates are Shown at Startup | When selected, displays the system label letters and numbers. This
check box is selected by default. This setting defines the initial default for all projects and can be overridden within each project by selecting > , or by selecting this option from the context menu on the Project Schematic. |
| Quick Help Icons in System Cells | When selected, the quick help icon in cells where quick help is available. The icon appears as a small blue triangle in the lower right corner of the cell. This check box is selected by default. |
| Word-wrap Text in Tables | When selected, allows text in tables to wrap within the cells. This check box is selected by default. |
