Example of the GMS window with the seven main sections labeled.

The GMS window is divided into seven main sections:

Menus

The File, Edit, Display, Window and Help menus are always available. Other menus change based on the module or numerical model in use.

Toolbars

For a full description of all the toolbars, see Tool Palettes.

Shortcut Toolbars

The shortcut toolbars are shortcuts (sometimes referred to as "macros") to often used menu commands.

XYZF Bar

These fields are used to edit the coordinates and scalar data set values of selected items (vertices, nodes, scatter points, etc.). File:Editwind.jpg

Module toolbar

The module toolbar let's the user switch between modules.

Project Explorer

The Project Explorer contains a hierarchical representation of the data associated with a modeling project.

Example of the Project Explorer

Static and Dynamic Tools

The static and dynamic tools change the behavior of the mouse in the Graphics Window. The static tools are the same for every module and the dynamic tools change depending on the module. The dynamic tools typically are for creation or selection of objects.

Graphics Window

The Graphics Window is where data is rendered and the user interacts with the data using tools.

Mouse Tracking Bar

This shows the real world coordinates of the mouse in the Graphics Window. If the mouse is over a cell, triangle or element, the F value is the dataset scalar value and the ID is the object's number. For 3D Grids, the IJK of the cell is also shown. The progress bar is also found here.

Status Bar

The Status Bar is used to display messages and information about selected items. It also shows the display projection.
