If you want more information about any ProcessDB tool or label, look it up here alphabetically.

Current model

In ProcessDB the Current model is the model that is currently displayed in the Diagram pane.

Display

Display is the name of a drop down menu (located just below the list of Models in the Models tab of the main ProcessDB window) that allows you to select which models will be displayed in your Models tab. The choices are My Models, Shared, or Public. My models displays the names of all models owned by you. These are typically models that you created yourself, but have not made public. Shared displays models created and owned by other ProcessDB users, but shared with you. The owner must explicitly share such a model with you in order for it to appear in your Shared model display. You have complete authority over any model that has been shared with you, with the exception that you cannot delete it. Public displays models that have been shared with all ProcessDB users. Some Public models are examples used in ProcessDB Workshops; others are published models. There are no restrictions. Any ProcessDB user can make any of their models Public. You can run and Public model as is, but if you wish to modify it you must make a copy of your own.

Marquee Zoom

Marque Zoom is a tool on the Diagram Pane Toolbar. Its icon is . Click this icon to activate marquee zoom, which allows you to drag a rectangle over a region of interest in a diagram and zoom in to see the details in that region.

Model tree structure pane

The Model tree structure pane is the lower left pane of the main ProcessDB window. It provides an expandable and contractible outline of the structure of the Current model. When you first Load a model, its tree structure appears collapsed like this. Click the + () to the left of the word Processes to display the full list of processes in the current model. It will look something like this: . Each process has a curvy arrow icon (), the name of the process assigned by the person who created the process, and the ProcessDB ID of the process.

Show Models

Show Models appears as an option on three different context menus. If you select Show Models from the context menu for a molecule or complex, ProcessDB will find every model that includes that molecule or complex. If such models are found, an expansion plus sign will appear next to the molecule icon (). Click the plus sign to display the list of models. Double click any model in the list to Load it into the diagram pane. Show Models works the same way when selected from the context menu for a Process in the Processes tab or for a Place in the Places tab.

Tree structure pane

The Tree structure pane is short for Model tree structure pane. It is the lower left pane of the main ProcessDB window. For details see Model tree structure pane.

X Residual

X Residual is a column of the Residuals tab in the Optimizer window. For details refer to Residuals tab.
