Prerequisite Manager dialog box

Master Solution
Master Solution Displays the name of the active solution. The solution becomes a master solution when you assign a prerequisite solution to it.
Prerequisite Solutions
Lists all solutions in the Simulation file except for the master solution and solutions that are listed in the Predefined Prerequisite Solutions group.
Select Lets you select the check box to specify that the software must solve the selected solution before the master solution. Note: Do not select imported solutions as prerequisite solutions. The software skips imported solutions if you select them as prerequisites.You cannot select a check box with a dashed border because the corresponding solution creates a circular dependency with the master solution. For example, suppose you select Solutions 2, 3, and 4 as prerequisites for Solution 1. You then cannot use Solution 1 as prerequisite solution for Solutions 2, 3, or 4 because Solution 1 already depends on the results from those solutions. Similarly, if you use Samcef chaining and chain a solution to the Samcef solution, that solution could cause a circular dependency.
Name The name of the solution as it appears in the Simulation Navigator. Red text indicates a solution that will create a circular dependency with the master solution.
Type The solution type specified in the Solution dialog box when the solution was created.
Predefined Prerequisite Solutions
Name The name of the solution selected on the Chaining page of the Samcef solution type. For more information, see Chaining solutions (Simcenter Samcef).
Show Full Solution Chain
Show Full Solution Chain Opens the Information window with a list of the prerequisite solutions and their associated subcases in the solve sequence. The full solution chain is also listed in the Solve dialog box when you solve the solution.
