10.1. Plot Results and Make a Selection#

Important

A result plot must be active before making a selection. Load a model and apply a contour, vector, or tensor plot first.

Select the elements, nodes, or coordinate systems you wish to analyse. The Output table then displays the results for the active load case and the selected entities.

10.2. Customize Table Columns#

You can show or hide columns in the table. Click Filter Columns in the top left corner of the table to open the column visibility panel.
