Specialized Uses for Result Elements

Result elements have special capabilities that do not exist for the corresponding interactive result:

• Result elements can be opened (via a button) or embedded directly into Dashboards.

• Time history results for simulations with multiple realizations can only be displayed for outputs that are referenced by Time History Result elements.

• Time History. Final Value and Distribution Result elements can be used to display Scenario results.

• Time History Result elements can be specified to export time history results (i.e., model outputs) to spreadsheets and text files automatically at the end of a simulation.

• Time History Result elements can be specified to plot results based on Reporting Periods.

• Time History Result elements within a parent model can be used to display time history results from inside a SubModel.

• Distribution Result elements within a parent model can be used to display nested Monte Carlo simulation results generated using a SubModel.

• Time History Result elements can be specified to display results at unscheduled update points.
