Model Window |
This is the working window where modeling and post-processing are performed using the various GUI features of midas Civil NX. Multiple Model Windows can be displayed. Since Model Windows are independent of each other, different coordinate systems can be assigned to each Model Window for modeling. In addition, since each Model Window receives the data from the same database, the work done in a certain Model Window is reflected in each Model Window. |
