About the Isight Design Gateway Layout

The following figure shows the Isight Design Gateway with the main areas labeled:

Use these areas to:

Menu Bar	Build and manipulate a model. For a complete list of menu options, see Menu Options.
Toolbar	Create models, save models, execute models, and access your library. For a complete list of toolbar buttons, see Toolbar Buttons.
Model Selector	Choose which loaded model you are viewing in the Design Gateway. For more information, see Creating Models
Model Properties	Set properties for the selected model.
Model Explorer	View the components that make up your model. You can use this area to switch between components. For example, when you are viewing the Parameters tab, you can change which component’s parameters you are currently viewing using the model explorer.
More	Display a configuration summary for the component currently selected in the model explorer
Less	Close the configuration summary.
Show Details	Display parameters and files for the component currently selected in the model explorer.
Tabs	The tabs available in the Design Gateway are different from those in the Runtime Gateway. The following tabs are available: Sim-flow. Build your model (see Working with Models). Dataflow. Graphically display how information moves from one component to the another and to map parameters (see Defining and Mapping Parameters and File Parameters). Parameters. Add parameters to the model (see Using Parameters. You can use the Formulation tab to define a problem to be solved for each process component in a model (see Using Problem Formulations). Files. Add file parameters to the model (see Using Parameters). Exploration. Explore your design space. For more information, see Exploration Component in the Isight Component Guide. Graph Templates. Create graphs and tables prior to execution (see Executing Models).
Component Title Bar	View the name of the component currently selected and to access buttons for editing or executing the component. For more information, see Component Title Bar Buttons.
Component Palette (located on the Sim-flow tab)	Display icons for components that you can add to your model. By default, the Process Components tab and Application Components tab appear and contain SIMULIA-supplied components. You can add/remove components from the default tabs, and you can add your own custom tabs to the palette. For more information, see Adding Tabs to the Component Palette.
Open Component Central	Access information about the Isight components. Component Central (http://components.simulia.com) contains information about components. In addition, Component Central contains any updates to the component since the current Isight release.
Canvas (located on the Sim-flow and Dataflow tabs)	Display a graphic version of your model simulation process flow and dataflow.
Model Validation Switch	Automatically detect problems with your model formulation and to notify you of the problem on the message bar. For more information, see Validating a Model and Accessing the Log File.
Message Bar	View error messages from model validation and other status information.
Validation Buttons	Quickly access any problems discovered during model validation. For more information, see Validating a Model and Accessing the Log File.
Log Button	Open the Log Viewer, which allows you to view the Design Gateway log file. For more information, see Validating a Model and Accessing the Log File.
Server Information Button	View connection information if you are connected to the SIMULIA Execution Engine environment. If you are using Isight in Standalone mode, you cannot click this button; it is for information purposes only. For more information, see Viewing SIMULIA Execution Engine Connection Information.
