Results Display Setup dialog box

Option Description
Results File Lets you specify the name and location of the bun file that contains the orbital heating results.
Show Results Lets you specify the results type, shell location, and legend extremes that are displayed in the Orbit Visualizer.
Select Results Type Available when the Show Results check box is selected.Specifies the results type.
Shell Location Available when the Show Results check box is selected.Lets you select the shell layer in which to display the simulation results.TopReturns results for the shell surface in the element's positive normal direction.BottomReturns results for the shell surface in the element's negative normal direction.MinimumCompares the absolute value of the top and bottom surfaces, and returns the minimum value.MaximumCompares the absolute value of the top and bottom surfaces, and returns the maximum value.AverageReturns the average value between the top and bottom shell surfaces.
Legend Extremes Available when the Show Results check box is selected.Specifies how the color bar scales the colors across the range of values in the graphics window.ResultsScales the color bar across the complete range of values for the selected results for the entire model.SpecifiedSpecifies the minimum and maximum values of the color bar that you set in the Min and Max boxes
Go To Orbit Lets you select which orbit the simulation results are displayed in the Orbit Visualizer:First OrbitDisplays the first orbit.Last OrbitDisplays the last orbit.SpecifiedLets you set the orbit number in the Orbit Number box.
Show Group Only Lets you specify the group of elements to display in the graphic window.
