1.3.2. Database Navigator

The Database Navigator displays the list of imported DFR files along with their corresponding solutions. When a result file is loaded, the tree view shows the result file name and items categorized by analysis type.

Each tree item includes buttons that allow you to open a new window or refresh the result. Additional functions shown in the figure and table below can also be configured.

Content	Description
Result	Displays the name of the imported DFR result file as a tree item in the Database Navigator.
Analysis	Solution types In the DFR file are displayed as sub-tree items. These Analysis types include the following: Statics - contains static analysis results. Dynamics - includes dynamics and kinematic analysis results. Eigenvalue - represents a set of eigenvalue analysis results.
Refresh	Refresh the selected result.
Remove	Remove the selected result.
Animation View	Create a new animation view for the selected solution.

1.3.2.1. Result Properties

When the result item is selected in the Database Navigator, its properties are shown in the Properties panel.

Misc	File Path	Shows the result file path.

1.3.2.2. Solution Properties

When Statics, Dynamics, or Eigenvalue analysis are selected in the Database Navigator, their respective properties are displayed in the Properties panel as shown in the tables below.

Frame

Controls how many animation frames are loaded for the result visualization. You can select one of the following methods:

From Application Setting - uses the global frame-loading configuration defined in the Application Settings.
Full Frames - loads all frames available in the result file.
Frame Range - loads a specific subset of frames by defining start and end frames for the sequence.
Frames - sets the maximum number of frames to load. The actual number of loaded frames will not exceed this value and the interval will be calculated automatically.
Skip by - specifies the interval for loading the frames (for example, every n^th frame).

Fatigue

Select the fatigue analysis result you wish to analyze. You can perform Fatigue Analysis on the selected result in the Postprocessor. Once the analysis is complete, the fatigue analysis results will be added to the list.

Category	Content	Description
Misc	Frame	Specifies the number of animation frames to load.
Misc	Time	Specifies the time for eigenvalue results. The mode shape and natural frequency corresponding to the defined time will be displayed in the animation view. In the Preprocessor, eigenvalue analysis can be performed at specific time points during a dynamic analysis. In the Postprocessor, you can review and analyze the eigenvalue results associated with each time point.
