is the same as Apply, except that the editor automatically closes.
Cancel and Close both close the editor without applying or saving any changes.
Reset returns the settings for the object to those stored in the database for all the tabs. The settings are stored in the database each time the Apply button is clicked.
Defaults restores the system default settings for all the tabs of the edited object.
To open the ANSYS Help, select Help > Contents.
Context-sensitive help is provided for many of the object editors and other parts of the interface. To invoke the context-sensitive help for a particular editor or other feature, ensure that the window is active, place the mouse pointer over the feature, and press F1. Not every area of the interface supports context-sensitive help.
