Context-Specific Toolbar

In the context-specific toolbar, located directly under the main tool bar, the functions change according to your selections in the model tree. For example, if you select Main Lattice in the model tree, the context-specific toolbar will display the relevant forms for manipulating the main lattice.

All of the context-specific toolbar options launch forms in the property grid which are relevant to the selected parent and/or children.

Toolbar Selections

Below are all the possible toolbar options in alphabetical order. For a listing of which forms can be found with each component, see that component page.

Context-Specific Toolbar Forms	Description
Add Child Fill Point	The Add Child Fill Point selects which space will initially be 3D-filled with a liquid.
Add Geometry	The Add Geometry form adds child geometry by importing from external CAD files, extracting from external CAD assemblies, or defining internally using built-in parametric geometry.
Add Particle Injection	The Add Particle Injection command adds an injection region to a particle parent.
Add Scalar Injection	The Add Scalar Region command adds an injection region to a scalar parent.
Create Inlet	The Create Inlet form offers a link to the Inlet/Outlet Setup form directly from a child geometry.
Cut	The Cut form cuts holes and segments from existing geometry.
Define Axis	The Define Axis form specifies the motion axis mount point and motion vector.
Deformation	The Deformation form imports a series of deforming meshes.
Diagnostics	The Diagnostics form reports the position, orientation, and moments of inertia associated with a static body.
Edit BC Table	The Edit Boundary Conditions Table edits the fluid types (in tabular form) associated with each boundary condition.
Edit Box	The Edit Box form exposes handles along the six sides of the bounding box which can be dragged to stretch or move the geometry.
Edit Fill Points	The Edit Fill Points form defines the number and position of flood fill points in your system.
Edit Height	The Edit Height form modifies the fluid height box.
Edit Mesh	The Edit Mesh form modifies the resolution of the solid body surface mesh used in the simulation. This only exists on the parent geometry, and the children inherit the properties from the parents.
Edit Table	The Edit Table form opens a spreadsheet to edit the global constants data in tabular form.
Explode	The Explode geometry form decomposes a CAD geometry into its constituent solid surfaces.
Flip	The Flip command changes the direction of the fluid flow through the inlet or outlet.
Help	The Help command launches the M-Star reference documentation in your web browser.
Inlet/Outlet Setup	The Inlet/Outlet Setup form defines where inlets and outlets exist along the boundary conditions.
Mate	The Mate form allows surface-to-surface mating and alignment.
Moments	The Moments form calculates the moments of inertia of a moving object.
Move	The Move form enables three-dimensional rigid body transform of object through free drag or point-to-point snapping.
Preview Flow	The Preview Flow form shows a preview of what the fluid will do at an inlet or outlet.
Recenter	The Recenter command snaps a plane to the center of the bounding box.
Reset	The Reset form moves the object back to its world origin or aligns the object to the world-aligned axis.
Reset box	The Reset Box command snaps the bounding box back to imported static geometry.
Rotate	The Rotate form enables three-dimensional rotation of geometry.
Scale	The Scale form enables volumetric scaling of a geometry about a set anchor point.
Set Internal Point	The Set Internal Point form specifies an interior point for imported CAD geometry.
Volume Calculator	The Volume Calculator calculates the fluid volume.
