The Adaptivity Process Manager, which is similar to other managers in Abaqus/CAE, allows you to do the following:

• Create an adaptivity process and associate the process with a selected model.

• Edit the selected adaptivity process.

• Copy, rename, or delete the selected adaptivity process.

In addition, the Adaptivity Process Manager allows you to do the following:

• Perform a data check on a model before submitting an adaptivity process.

• Submit an adaptivity process.

• Continue an adaptivity process after performing a data check.

You can display the Adaptivity Process Manager by selecting AdaptivityManager from the main menu bar. Figure 19–3 shows the layout of the Adaptivity Process Manager.

The three columns of the Adaptivity Process Manager display the following:
