Using 3D Viewer

Overview

It is recommended to check the geometry in the 3D Viewer before submitting runs. Make sure all of your geometries and assemblies that you intend to run are present. If you don't see one of your geometries in the 3D Viewer, then it will not be present in the run.

It is recommended to use the 3D viewer in Chrome browser. The 3D Viewer may not work properly in Internet Explorer.
