  • An option to reset all the parameters in the cockpit
Important: When you edit or reset a parameter, all the occurrences of the parameter in the cockpit are updated or reset. For example, when you reset a parameter in the parameters category, the parameter is also reset in the variables area of the cockpit.
Displays the defined categories of parameters. You can edit the values of the parameters in these categories.

You can drag the key parameters into these categories and configure them for simulation. For more information, see Creating a Cockpit.

The following options are available on a category:

Creates a parameter category
Renames the category
Resets all the modified parameters in the category to their default values
Deletes the category

For each parameter, a list under the Menu column displays options to reset and delete the parameter.
Displays an option for starting a simulation and a player for animating the simulated values.
