Source Indicator

The source indicator confirms where the data that is being displayed is coming from. The options are Keyword (keyword file), Database (actual finite element solution) and Cable (cable pre-static step). For example, the following indicator shows 'Database' for illustration... .

In Keyword mode, the data is coming directly from the keyword file you are working on, meaning you effectively have a model preview facility. Database on the other hand means you are looking at a converged solution. Very occasionally Cable mode is displayed, meaning you are looking at the Cable Pre-Static Step solution. If an initial static analysis fails to converge, it may be that the cable solution is giving a poor approximation to the actual static configuration; viewing the cable solution in that case may help identify modelling shortcomings.
