The icons in the column along the left side of the manager allow you to suppress and resume existing load cases. The Create, Edit, Copy, Rename, or Delete buttons in the manager allow you to create new load cases or to edit, copy, rename, and delete existing ones. You can also initiate the create, edit, copy, rename, and delete procedures by using the Load Case menu in the main menu bar. After you select a management operation from the main menu bar, the procedure is exactly the same as if you had clicked the corresponding button inside the manager dialog box.
