Notes about nomenclature and symbols

This page summarizes the definitions this guide uses for Ansys projects, as well as what some of the symbols you see mean.
Nomenclature
System
This entire box is a system. The blue header at the top is how you control the systems overall properties
Step
Each row in the system is a step. Each step has tasks that must be completed within a certain software such as ACP or Mechanical. The step symbol on the right tells you what the step's status is
Symbols
Green Check Mark
This means the step is complete. All required information has been selected/input by the user
Filled Blue Question Mark
This means the step needs additional user input to proceed to the next step
Outlined Blue Question Mark
This means a previous step needs additional user input as well as this step
Yellow Bolt
This means the step must be updated to reflect some change, such as meshing or solving
Green Check Mark and Yellow Bolt
This means the step had been complete, but updates from above may cause the data this step holds to change
