Output Views

Output Views may be used to view input data and results in tabular format. Several Output Views may be open at a time.

A new Output View may be opened using the View | New Output View menu command.

The New Output View command first displays the Output Settings dialog box. OK opens an Output View containing the selected output; Cancel exits the dialog box without opening an Output View.

You can also open Output Views via the Output explorer. This opens the selected Output View with the default output specification. Note that the default output specification is “All” cases and the first 25 nodes, elements or members, so opening an Output View via the Output explorer for a large model can cause huge quantities of output to be generated. When working with large models it is recommended that Output Views be opened using the “New Output View” command and that the output specification be carefully specified before requesting the output to be generated.

Default view settings, preferred views and saved views are available for Output Views. Refer to Working with Saved Views and Preferred Views for details and to Working with the View Explorer for accessing these.
