Output Tables Reference

The following properties and right-click actions are available for the output table of a design set.

Output Table Properties

Design#
Displays the identification numbers of the designs in the design study.
Name
Displays the names of the designs.
State
Displays the run states of the designs. The following states are available:
  • No icon: This design has not started.
  • This design is queued to run on the selected compute resources. See: Compute Resource Reference.
  • This design is submitted and waiting in the queue on the Job Manager resource.
  • This design has been assigned to run.
  • This design has started to run.
  • This design is running. This state includes updating the CAD data and parameter values, meshing, and solving.
  • This design has executed.
  • This design is processing outputs.
  • This design has completed successfully.
  • This design has failed.
  • This design has run with a bisection—half of the step size used previously. Only applicable for smart sweep study.

The state information is also shown in the tooltip when you hover over the icon. For example:

  • Queued on Default Direct resource:


  • Submitted on Job Manager resource:


The state information is useful especially when the design runs on more than one Computer Resources, for example, Local CAD Update.

State information is also fully recorded in Design Details, which you access by right-clicking on a design entry in the table and choosing Show Design Details:



In most cases, the states and change so quickly that you do not notice them in the GUI.
Performance (not for DOE and CAD Robustness studies)
Displays the performance values of the designs, which allow you to rate the designs. The formulation of the performance value is given by Eqn. (547).
Parameter/Response
Displays the values of the respective input parameter or response.

Output Table Filter Query Rules

The following filter operators are available for the design properties in an output tables of a user-defined design set:

Properties Available Operators
  • Name
contains
Matches all designs with names that include the specified text string.
does not contain
Matches all designs with names that do not include the specified text string.
matches
Matches all designs with the specified name.
does not match
Matches all designs with names other than the specified name.
starts with
Matches all designs with names that begin with the specified text string.
does not start with
Matches all designs with names that do not begin with the specified text string.
ends with
Matches all designs with names that end with the specified text string.
NoteA name can include a trailing number which is considered part of the name, such as Design 1 . Therefore, for example, an entry of ign does not find the Design 1.
does not end with
Matches all designs with names that do not end with the specified text string.
  • State
All
Matches all designs in the design study.
Successful
Matches the designs that have completed successfully.
Error
Matches the designs that encountered an error when they ran.
Not Started
Matches the designs that have not started.
Feasible (not for DOE and CAD Robustness studies)
Matches the designs that meet all constraints.
  • Design#
  • Performance
  • Parameter
  • Response
all values
Matches all designs in the design study.
less than
Matches all designs with respective quantity being smaller than a specified value.
greater than
Matches all designs with respective quantity being larger than a specified value.
between
Matches all designs with respective quantity being in a specified range.

Output Table Right-Click Actions

The following actions are available when you right-click the row of a specific design in the output table:

Show Design Details
Opens the Design Details Dialog.
Open Scenes > [Scene] > [Snapshot]
Allows you to create a new scene snapshot or open a previously created scene snapshots for the selected design. See Snapshots.
Open Plots > [Plot] > [Snapshot]
Allows you to create a new plot snapshot or open a previously created plot snapshot for the selected design. See Snapshots.
Set Design Set > [Design Set]
Allows you to assign the selected design to a new design set or a previously created design set. Using <Ctrl>, you can multi-select and assign designs to a design set.
Rerun Designs
Re-runs the selected design. Using <Ctrl>, you can select and re-run multiple designs in a design study. For more information, see Re-running Selected Designs.
