1	For Midplane and Dual Domain analysis technologies, these results are produced only when you have selected an analysis sequence that includes the Incompressible solver.
2	For Midplane and Dual Domain analysis technologies, these results are produced only when you have selected an analysis sequence that includes the Compressible solver.
3	This result is available only when the option to Perform venting analysis is selected in the solver parameters.
4	The Mat orientation result is specific to the RTM and SRIM processes. The RTM and SRIM processes are not supported by 3D analysis technology.
5	If you select a material with fiber or filler content, Fiber orientation analysis results also will be generated for a Fill+Pack analysis sequence. The option to perform Fiber orientation analysis if fiber material is enabled by default in the Process Settings Wizard.
