4.2.6 Toolbars

The FLUENT GUI includes toolbars located within the application window. These toolbars provide
shortcuts to performing common tasks in ANSYS FLUENT. By default, the toolbars are docked to the
FLUENT interface but can also be detached and moved to a new location. You can detach a toolbar by
clicking the left mouse button on the outer portion of it, holding down the mouse, and dragging the
toolbar to a new location. To move the detached toolbar, select the title bar and drag the toolbar to a
new position in the application window. Once detached, the toolbars can be restored to their location
in the interface by double-clicking the title region of the toolbar.
Toolbars that are detached or moved to a new location will return to their original positions each time
FLUENT is launched.
The small arrow button in some FLUENT toolbars can be used to access additional functionality in
ANSYS FLUENT. For instance, there are additional selections available when you click the small arrow
in the standard toolbar.

The FLUENT graphical user interface includes a standard toolbar and a graphics toolbar.
The Standard Toolbar: The standard toolbar (Figure 2.1.3) contains options for working with ANSYS
FLUENT case files, saving images, and accessing the ANSYS FLUENT documentation.

The Graphics Toolbar: The graphics toolbar (Figure 2.1.4) contains options that allow you to modify
the wayin which you view your model or select objects in the graphics window.

The Navigation Pane: The navigation pane, located on the left side of the FLUENT GUI, contains a list
of task pages, as shown in Figure 2.1.5
The list consists of Problem Setup task pages, Solution-related activities, and a Results section for post
processing. When any of the items under Problem Setup, Solution, or Results is highlighted, the task
page will be displayed to the right of the navigation pane. The items in the navigation pane are listed in
the order in which you would normally set up, solve, and post process a case.
