A really nice component to COSMOSWorks Professional includes the "Trend Tracker". Use it often! What's it for? Well...such a deep subject, but not really. When you run a simulation and develop results plots. turning on the Trend Tracker captures all the results for you automatically. No more saving screen captures, writing down results, and creating folders and text files to manage all that information. Next, change your design and run again. Trend Tracker records all the NEW results and saves them for you. Next, change your design and run, yet again. Yes, all your results are saved - plots an all. What a MASSIVE time saver!To use it: Right-click on the name of your study and choose "Trend Tracker". A new icon will appear in the simulation tree. Right click on it and choose "Set Baseline". This will gather all the data from the first run. Now you can change your model, run again (same study!) and Trend Tracker will record your analysis results. You even get graphs of things like weight, stresses, and displacements. Right click on the Trend Tracker to view the gallery of images for each iteration, go back (restore) a previous iteration, delete an iteration, and more. View the Microsoft Word "Trend Journal" (icon underneath Trend Tracker) to look at numerical results of all the iterations. Very nice. Much time will be saved...

This is much faster than creating configuration and studies for the different model changes. You can also use this in combination with optimization. Use this to make the manual drastic changes such as adding holes and then use optimization to size the holes.
