  • Patent number: 10002164
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing a context-based search of simulation objects. A computer-readable medium configured for storage of objects and records associated with the objects is accessed, where the objects include a plurality of simulation objects and one or more container objects, where a container object is associated with a context of the engineering simulation, where a record associated its associated container record identifies one or more simulation objects that are associated with the container object. A graphical user interface is provided for display. The graphical user interface includes a first control for identifying a context of the simulation for search and a second control for identifying an object parameter for search. A container object is identified based on the identified context. Object parameters of the simulation objects associated with the identified container object are searched using the identified object parameter to identify matching simulation objects.
