Using Object Browser

The Object Browser in SALOME is destined for displaying the structure of the current study in a tree-like form. It contains:

  • components, loaded during the current session
  • objects created with the help of different components (The objects created with the help of a definite component are located in the folder having the name of this component)
  • references to different objects (they are highlighted in red)

Note:
The Object Browser is destined to getting quick access to different objects created during SALOME session. All pop-up menus associated with the objects displayed in the Object Browser are context-sensitive. So it depends on a definite currently loaded SALOME component what options you will see in the pop-up menu, if you right-click on a definite object in the Object Browser.

The Object Browser may contain supplementary attributes of the objects displayed in additional columns. By default, these columns are not displayed - displaying/hiding these columns is possible through setting study preferences or right-clicking on the attributes bar and toggling the necessary attributes.
