Lenses        Show information about the cycle stuffs and devices.

Analytic Progress        Displays a checkmark for each stuff or device that is completely analyzed, and a meter window with a red bar indicating the relative number of known parameters for those stuffs and devices that aren’t completely analyzed.

Energy Flows        View the flows of heat and power or work in your cycle.  When you choose this option, the icons representing each device through which there is a flow of either heat or work between the cycle and the environment will be replaced with little square readouts that contain a single vertical bar in their centers.  This bar indicates the relative amount of flux taking place at each device.  The color of the bar indicates the type of flux.  Red indicates a heat flow in, blue a heat flow out, yellow a work flow in and green a work flow out.

Temperatures        This lens enables you to view the temperature at each stuff relative to the maximum temperature of the cycle.  Note that these readouts have rounded corners to distinguish them from Energy Flow readouts.  Temperature bars are displayed in red, to distinguish them from Pressure bars, which are displayed in blue.

Pressures        This lens enables you to view the pressure at each stuff relative to the maximum pressure of the cycle.  Note that these readouts have rounded corners to distinguish them from Energy Flow readouts. .  Pressure bars are displayed in blue, to distinguish them from Pressure bars, which are displayed in red.

Restore Icons        Restore the default icons if you have been using the lens or analytic progress views (see below).

Annotations        Show information about the cycle stuffs and devices.

Device Role 

    Annotations        Displays the roleDesign_and_Analysis_Coaching of each device.

Temperature 

    Annotations        Displays the temperature at each point.

Pressure Annotations        Displays the pressure at each point.

Remove Annotations        Removes pressure or temperature annotations (see below) from screen.

Sensitivity        Analyze the relationship between an assumed parametric value and a derived one and present the results as a line graph.  For example, you might want to understand how the efficiency of your cycle varies with changes in the outlet pressure of the boiler.

Edit Equations        Enables you to equate any two parameters, via the Edit Equation dialog.  For example, you might be analyzing a cycle with five non-ideal turbines in it; rather than set each to a given efficiency, you can set the efficiency of the first one and then set the other four efficiencies equal to the first.

Look up Properties        Pops up the Property Table Interpolator, which enables you to directly access CyclePad’s property tables.

Property Table Bounds        Displays a list of all property tables contained in CyclePad.  Choosing a table from this list will display a graph indicating the range of the table.  You may find this helpful when working with unfamiliar working fluids.
