App settings (global)


This chapter describes and explains the global application settings. These settings are project independent and thus available at any time, regardless of user login and opening a project.

1. General

number_1 Language (DE/EN)

In order to change the language, just select the desired language from the drop-down menu (see Figure 1 -1). The setting will be applied automatically.

Changing the language not only adapts SimUI’s dialog guidance, but also the attributes of the objects according to the selected language.

Static and dynamic key Figures are also specified in the desired language.

 

number_2 Server URL

The status of the server connection is displayed in the Server URL line. To adjust the URL, simply click on Edit at the end of the line.

 

number_3 Return license

The user can disconnect from the server using the Return license button. This causes the view to switch back to the login screen, as described in the Login window chapter.

Information on the currently used license is also displayed (type, validity).

2.1 Grid squares

The Grid square width and Grid square height option can be used to determine the size of the grid in the modeling area (see Figure 2). At project settings (local) the grid can be enabled / disabled.

2.2 Default routing for new links

The Routing behavior for new links setting can be used to specify the display of the connections between the objects.

2.3 Parameterbox size

In the Parameter box size setting, you can select between two sizes in which the parameter boxes are to be displayed in the modeling area.

2.4 Initial Parameter display mode

With this setting, you can determine which parameter display should be preset (see chapter Overview modeling surface, Figures 2-4).

2.5 Number of decimal places

The number of decimal places can be specified here. This setting applies to all parameter displays and all static key figures.

2.7 Confirm reverting parameters to main alternative values

If the checkbox is active, a dialoge is shown, where the user can accept or decline values being reverted back to the values of the main alternative.

 

 

2.8 Avoid exact overlapping of nodes

With this option active, it is not possible for objects in the modeling area to overlap exactly.
