Open a Recent Formula

You can open a formula that you have recently created or viewed.

  1. Click Home in the left pane.

    Tiles for recently created and recently viewed formulas are visible in the work area.

    Note: If no formula has been created or opened recently, the Recent list is empty.

  2. In the work area, click the tile for the formula that you want to open.
    The formula opens in the work area. Its tile is added to the left pane.

Open a Formula from Search Results

You can drag a formula from search results into Formulation Design.

  1. With Formulation Design open or pinned to your dashboard, search for formulas. For instructions on searching, see 3DEXPERIENCE Platform: Using 3DSearch.

    The Search Results panel opens. It opens in a maximized view, unless you minimized the panel in a previous search.

  2. If the panel is maximized, click in the Search Results panel top bar to minimize it.
  3. From the Search Results panel, drag the formula that you want to open to into the left panel of Formulation Design. (If the left panel is collapsed, it expands automatically as you drag.)
    A tile for the formula is added to the left panel, and the formula opens in the work area.

    Tip: You can select and drag multiple formulas from the Search Results panel. The first formula in the selection opens in the work area. All the selected formulas are added to the left panel.
