THE CONTEXT BAR

ABAQUS CAE: Go from Beginner to Advanced! Course by Peter Bejdák

• The context bar is located above the canvas and drawing area. The Module list
on the context bar allows you to move between modules. To move to a different
module, you can choose from the list (the arrow on the right) or click the up and
down arrows (on the left) to move to the previous or next module.

• As you move between modules, Abaqus CAE displays additional items on the
context bar that help you select the context of your current operations. For
example, when you are in the Part module or Mesh module, Abaqus CAE
displays the Part list in the context bar. The Part list contains every part in your
model; you can use it to retrieve a particular part. These lists also include the up
and down navigation arrows that allow you to move to the previous or next item in
the list. The context bar also allows you to move between models in the model
database or to change the output database associated with the current viewport.
The additional items in the context bar are a function of the module in which you
are working. The items displayed in the context bar always refer to the current
viewport, which is indicated by a dark gray title bar. For example, if you have
different parts displayed in different viewports, the context bar indicates the name
of the part displayed in the current viewport.
