### 1.2.4. Text Output Window

The text output window is a monitor tab that lists simulation information and the progress of a solution, including information such as physical properties, boundary conditions, and various other parameters used or calculated in creating the model. The source of the displayed information is an output file from a solver run. For details, see CFX-Solver Output File.

For an ANSYS Multi-field run, an additional text output window shows text output from the ANSYS solver. In this case, you can switch between viewing the CFX output file and the ANSYS output file by using the tabs at the top of the window. For details on ANSYS Multi-field runs, see Coupling CFX to an External Solver: ANSYS Multi-field Simulations.

You can hide or show the Out File monitor tab from the CFX-Solver Manager Monitors Menu.

Right-click in the Out File monitor tab to access a shortcut menu with commands for finding text, selecting text, copying text, saving the text to a file, managing bookmarks, editing the properties of the Out File monitor tab, and deleting the Out File monitor tab.

The following sections explain some of these actions in more detail:

- Searching for Text

- Saving the Text to File
