Many complex models utilize arrays (vectors and matrices).
Array A collection of variables that share common output attributes and can be manipulated in GoldSim elements or input expressions. results allow you to view "snapshots" of vectors and matrices at particular points in time in both graphical and tabular form. By default, Array results display Final Values (i.e., values at the end of each realization A single model run within a Monte Carlo simulation. It represents one possible path the system could follow through time.). However, by defining Capture Times User-defined points in time during a simulation at which “Final Value” results are captured for result display. The final time point in the simulation is always included as a Capture Time, but additional times can be added., you can display results at any specified time. If you have created Capture Times, an additional drop-list is added to the display window to allow you to select the set of data (i.e., the values at the specified Capture Time) that you would like to display.
If you have saved Final Values for an array output, you can display an Array result by right-clicking on the output (in a browser An alternative view of a GoldSim model, in which elements are displayed in a tree, and organized either hierarchically, or by type. or the output interface), or the element (if the output is the element's primary output For an element with multiple outputs, the output that has the same name as the element.) and selecting Array Result... from the context menu. By default, an Array Chart will be displayed:
Note: When viewing an Array Result element, the element "remembers"the last type of view that was displayed, and displays that view when you double-click on it.
Note: Array results are not available in Scenario Mode The state of a model when it contains scenario results, allowing multiple scenarios to be compared.. They can only be viewed in Result Mode The state of a model when it has been run and contains simulation results for a single set of input parameters..
Note: Final Value results are more flexible for viewing arrays and for the most part make this result display redundant (i.e., this is a legacy feature). It does have two minor features not available in Final Value elements (the ability to sum rows and columns and the ability to produce 3D charts), but for most applications Final Value displays are much more powerful (e.g., they are available in Scenario A specific set of input data (and corresponding outputs) for a model. Multiple scenarios can be defined for a model. Different scenarios within a model are specifically differentiated by having different values for one or more Data elements. Mode and can produce a wider variety of chart types).
