## 7.1. CFX-Solver Manager Options

When the Options dialog box appears, CFX-Solver Manager options can be set under SolverManager.

### Default Layout Mode

You may specify a default layout mode to specify what mode monitors are presented when starting a new run. Select from the following:

- `Multiple Windows`

- `Tabbed`

### Show Original Variable Names

If selected, the variable names will be shown with their original names. By default, this option is not selected and is generally left at that default setting.

### Don’t write Backup file on Edit Run In Progress

By default, a backup file is written. For details, see Edit Run In Progress Command.

### Save Workspace to Results File

By default, this option is selected, enabling the CFX-Solver Manager workspace state to be saved automatically into the results file for the run. This means that if you subsequently re-monitor the run, any custom plots or plot settings that you used for the original run will be preserved.

Note that with this option selected, opening any ANSYS CFX results file in Release 11.0 or later of the CFX-Solver Manager will modify the results file in such a way that it becomes incompatible with Release 10.0 or earlier of the CFX-Solver Manager. In general, compatibility cannot be guaranteed whenever an ANSYS CFX results file from a particular release is opened in a CFX-Solver Manager from a later release. The results file will still be functional for the CFX-Solver from the earlier release, but you will not be able to monitor such a run using the CFX-Solver Manager from the earlier release. You should, therefore, disable Save Workspace to Results File when switching back and forth between different releases of the CFX-Solver Manager. You should also disable this option if you want to retain an unmodified results file.

### Enable Beta Features

Some Beta features are hidden in the user interface. You can select this option to “unhide” those features. When selected, such features are identified by "(Beta)" in the user interface. Note that Beta features are unofficial and not well tested.

### Monitor

Multiple options exist that can be monitored as required.

- The visibility for each type of residual can be toggled on or off. Settings take effect the next time a run is started, or the next time a results file is viewed.

- If visibility is disabled for all residuals in a plot monitor, the monitor will not be created.

Monitor options are available to specify global residual display preferences. Settings chosen on the form apply for all future solver runs and override default display settings for monitors. Monitors can still be created using the Workspace menu. For details, see New Monitor Command.
