A Study node () holds all the nodes that define how to solve a model (see Figure 19-1). These nodes are divided into three broad categories:

Also see Study Reference to refer to another study in the model. The main Study node has this section:

The Generate default plots check box is selected by default so that plot groups with suitable default plots for the physics interfaces in the study are generated automatically when computing the solution. Clear this check box if you do not want any default plots.

The Generate convergence plots check box is selected or cleared by default based on the setting for generating convergence plots in the Preferences>Results dialog box. Clear this check box if you do not want convergence plots to be generated during the solution process.

Select the Store solution for all intermediate study steps check box (cleared by default) to make the study add Solution Store nodes after all intermediate study steps in a study with multiple study steps. If this check box is not selected, Solution Store nodes are only added for some study step combinations.
