- Interrogate results within a
2D Mesh using the following Result analysis objects:
- Results point (2D)
- Results section
- Results polygon (2D)
These objects can be used to display 2D simulation results using the pick graph
and
pick grid
tool buttons on the
Results toolbar. Results for these objects can also be
exported to CSV file, and used in Location and Simulation
graph reports and Flexible and Extreme Value Analysis
custom graph reports.
For details about creating and editing Results point (2D), Results section and Results polygon (2D) objects, see the Digitising Network Objects topic.
Note: Results point (2D), Results section and Results polygon (2D) analysis objects are used as a tool to query a set of results that has already been generated. For more accurate results, use the Network result point, line and polygon objects, which provide results generated during the simulation.See the Results point 2D, Result section and Results polygon 2D sections below for information about the time varying results that are available.
- Inspect property details for elements within a selected 2D mesh element area using the following Result analysis object:
- Results element 2D
This type of object is read-only and is automatically generated for each element in the applicable element area when you select a row or bin in the 2D Mesh Element Histogram dialog and click Show grid view.
Each object has the same boundary as its corresponding 2D mesh element in the relevant 2D zone, and provides mesh element property details, such as 2D Zone ID and ground level in the Results Analysis grid.
For a more detailed inspection of elements in the 2D mesh, you can display the 2D Zone Mesh Element Properties dialog by selecting the Properties option from the pop-up menu in the Results Analysis grid. If 2D simulation results are available for a mesh element, these will also be displayed in the 2D Zone Mesh Element Properties dialog.
See the Results element 2D section below for property details and Viewing a 2D Mesh Element Histogram for information about using the histogram.
