After running a Monte Carlo analysis and/or Contributor Analysis, the Analysis Report window will appear. In the Simulation Window, the user can scan through the model's measurements, hide/show the Monte Carlo analysis or Contributor Analysis; edit Tolerances or Measurements, and more.
In this section:See also: Simulation Output and Sensitivity Output for an explanation of all measured outputs. For the Pros, Cons and Assumptions of this analysis method see Analysis Comparison & Assumptions. |
Analysis Summary |
Monte Carlo (Histogram) and the Contributor Results |
|
|
The Analysis Summary shows all the measures and the Contributors that affect the measures results. Double-click on one of the measures in the list to see the Monte Carlo results in a Histogram.. |
The Monte Carlo results (Histogram) shows the statistical results of the measure. The Contributor Analysis can also be shown or hidden. |
File
Load Histogram (HST) allows the user to load a previously saved *.hst file.
Load Contributor Analysis (HLM) allows the user to load a previously saved *.hlm file.
Save Monte Carlo Analysis As (HST) will save the *.hst file in the Model's Report Directory (as default location). Please see Saving Histogram Data for a detailed layout and available file types.
Save GeoFactor Equation-Based Analysis As will save the results as a StatRow (CSV) file in the Model's Report Directory (as default location).
Save Contributor Analysis As (HLM) will save the *.hlm file in the Model's Report Directory (as default location). Please see Saving Contributor Analysis Data for a detailed layout and available file types.
View
Show Measure displays the current measure on the model in the Graph window. Only available in Analysis Results Window.
Show Min/Show Max shows the current measures min or max output in the graph window.
Show Graph shows the selected assembly positions for a model.
Show Contributors selects and shows the Contributor Analysis index points on the model, in order to view where the index points for the results are located on the model. Only available in Analysis Results Window.
Edit Measure will open the current measure. Only available in Analysis Results Window.
Edit Contributor will display a list of available tolerances or GD&T. Only available in Analysis Results Window.
Show Samples allows the user to view a particular build selected from the simulation results.
Show Related will open the Related List for the selected measurement in an HTML format.
Options allows the user to customize the report options for Monte Carlo analysis and Contributor Analysis.
Analysis Commands and Functions:
Summary: Also referred to as Sample Summary, displays the current measure's samples, min and max values, as well as all other measure's samples, min and max values, at the current measure max and min.
Analysis Settings: Displays all the settings used in the model; model and data location; simulation run time information, and much more.
Set Pp Value: Allows the user to change the current measurement output by inputting a Pp Value.
Apply to Measure: Edit the Pp Value and apply will apply the new Pp Value to the current measure in the Simulation.
Simulation Window layout
Hide/Show Histogram: Hides or shows the Histogram and Statistical Information in the Simulation Window.
Hide/Show Contributor Analysis: Hides or shows the Contributor list in the Simulation Window.
Next and 
Previous buttons allow the user to view the outputs of the next or previous measures.
Edit Measure: will open the current measure.
Edit Contributor: will display a list of available tolerances or GD&T.
Show Contributors: This option shows the Contributor list by either the Tolerance or Feature.
•Per Tolerance: Only shows the Tolerance as a contributor. Even if the Tolerance or GD&T have more than two features selected.
•Per Feature: Shows all of the Features of the tolerance as a contributor.
Search: Search a measure in the results window by name. This function will automatically go to the first measure it finds with the typed name. (Example: "Meas" shows the first measure with "Meas" in the name). (Wild cards "*$#@%^" are supported).
Filter: Filter measures in the model by name. This function will only list measures in the results with the typed name. (Example: "Gap" will only list measures with "Gap" in the name). (Wild cards "*$#@%^" are supported).
Show Min/Show Max: shows the current measures min or max output in the graph window.
