Many complex models utilize arrays (vectors and matrices).
Array 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). However, by defining Capture Times, 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 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, an Array Chart will be displayed:
This example shows a vector chart. The vector has four items.
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. They can only be viewed in Result Mode.
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 Mode and can produce a wider variety of chart types).
