Output Options
• Data Viewer—When simulation is complete, a new JNEye Data Viewer opens and the results are
shown. The simulation results can be loaded and viewed at a later time with JNEye Data Viewer.
• Data Viewer with Image Output—When simulation is complete, all the simulation results are also
saved as image files that can be used in documentation. JNEye supports three image output options:
PNG, JPEG, and GIF. The saved images are located in the same directory as the simulation results for
each project.
