Simulation Design Study

(OP)
Hello,

I am having trouble defining stress/displacement plots using the design study feature of SIM 2010.

The problem I am working on involves 10 different load cases applied to the same locations on the model.  I am using variables for the x,y,z components of these loads (which vary from load case to load case).

It seems I must define a sensor to be able to plot stress, displacement, strain etc. for the different load cases (scenarios).  

For some reason when I define a sensor for displacements (x,y,z) the plot lists the resulstant displacement.  The same problem occurs when I attempt to plot stressess (membrane, bending, x, y, z) I only am able to view the von Mises stressess.

Thanks ahead of time for your help

Also,

Is there a way to rename your sensors?  For example 'Displacement 5' would be much easier to understand if it read 'Displacement - X direction'.  

Can you rename Scenarios?  For example 'Scenario 1' would be much easier to understand if it read 'Load Case 1' or something of value to the user.  Can you delete a Scenario?  I know you can uncheck the box to have prevent the scenario from running but I do not know if you can delete it.
