Output Summary

Most tables can be summarised in terms of the maximum and minimum values encountered in the table for each component. The maximum and minimum values are displayed in bold; the coexistent components reported in the summary are the same as the coexistent values reported in the table, even when the case being reported is an enveloping case.

For some data components (e.g. element length and element strain energy) a total for that component in the specified table is included in the summary.

Whether or not the table and summary are output can be set in the Output Settings dialog box.

By default the summary includes only the single worst values. It is possible to set the number of worst values in the Output Settings: Further Options. This results in several worst values being output in descending sequence. Note that setting the number of worst values to a large number will result in an output table of values in descending sequence, as opposed to node or element number sequence.
