If you have saved Final Values for a matrix output, you can display the final values of the matrix by right-clicking on the output (in a browser or the output interface), or the element (if the output is the element's primary output) and selecting Array Result… from the context menu.
By default, a Matrix Chart will be displayed:
The row items are plotted along the X axis, with multiple bars for each column item (which are identified in a legend, which you may have to turn on by right-clicking in the chart and selecting to show the legend from the context menu).
If you are viewing an Array Table, you can view an Array Chart by pressing the 2D Chart button at the top of the display.
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.
Matrix charts have several hot-keys which can be used to modify the plot:

Pressing the 3D Chart button displays the chart in three dimensions:

The axes labels scale with the size of the window in 3D charts.
You can rotate the three dimensional image using by holding down the left mouse button and dragging within the chart. The following hot-keys can be used to manipulate the 3D Chart:
|

By pressing the Rows… and/or Columns… buttons from the Result Properties dialog for the array result, you can select which items in the array are to be displayed (by default, all are displayed). You can also change the colors for the column bars.
A row/column totals button is available at the top of the display window:
Pressing this button displays the row and column totals:

By default, Array results operate on Final Values. That is, the display uses the values at the end of each realization. However, by defining Capture Times, you can display values 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.
