# Postprocessor Functions

The postprocessor functions available in the ATILA-GiD interface can be accessed via icons and/or menus.

## Postprocessor Icons

| Frequency List: | Opens a window showing the list of frequencies obtained from modal or modal resantires analysis.
| Animation: | This is a special animation feature that is used to animate one particular frequency of a harmonic analysis or modal analysis. This icon serves as a toggle switch between the animation mode and the normal postprocessing mode.
| Admittance & Impedance: | Displays the magnitude and phase for the admittance and impedance in the case of a harmonic analysis.
| TVR: | Displays the TVR and values for a harmonic case. Only the directions 0 and 90º can be obtained at this time.
| Beam Patterns: | Displays the beam patterns associated to a particular frequency.
| Clear Graphs: | This function clears all currently displayed graphs and associated dialog and text windows.

## Postprocessor Menus
