There are two ways to create a Result element: by converting an interactive result into a Result element, or by creating a Result element directly.
While viewing an interactive result display (in which you right-click on an element or an output and select a result display option from a context menu), you can convert it to a Result element.
You can do so from the Result Properties dialog for the result you are viewing.
This dialog can be accessed by pressing the Result properties button while viewing the chart or table. This will display the Result Properties dialog:
This is the Result Properties dialog for a Distribution result. Dialogs for other result types are similar.
If you press the Create Element button, GoldSim will insert an element. The Name will also become editable (a default name will be automatically inserted that you can change). You will also note that the Create Element button changes to Appearance:
Note: With one
exception, Result elements follow the same rules as other GoldSim elements
regarding their names (e.g., can only include letters, numbers and the
underscore character). Unlike other elements in GoldSim, however, the
Name of a Result element can contain spaces.
For some result types, some additional fields may also become available when the Result element is created (in the example above, an Options… button becomes available).
You can also insert a result element into your model directly just as you would insert any other kind of element, via the main menu or context menus:
