I often find myself opening support files when I want to open the original simulation. This is due to several things:
1) When navigating to the location of the simulation, I always get to the support file first because it is on the level above
2) The icon is nearly identical
Speaking to colleagues, it's a fairly common problem.
The problem is that I've then got a support file for the support file created. When I was new to Autodesk CFD, I assumed that the support file was the main CFD file due to the above factors. This lead to many new support files being created.
Could you please either:
a) Put the support file within the main directory
b) Use a very different icon (preferably a different colour)
c) Only have .cfdst files shown by default when clicking 'open'. By all means have .cfz available as a separate option.
