Control how fields are listed in the Simulation Navigator

You can control how fields and field occurrences are listed in the Simulation Navigator under the Fields node as follows:

  • You can exclude fields from the list by filtering the fields according to field type.

  • You can exclude fields from the list by filtering the fields according to field name.Use the asterisk symbol (*) to match any characters.Use the period symbol (.) to match a single character.Use the at symbol (@) to override using a period as a wildcard symbol.For example, suppose you want to display all the fields whose names include a period. To do so, in the Assign Wildcard dialog box, in the Wildcard box, type @.. Because the @ symbol precedes the period symbol, the software interprets the period as a text character rather than as a wildcard symbol.

  • You can exclude field occurrences from the list by turning the Show Fields from Component Parts filter off.

  • You can sort the fields in the list by field type or name.

  • You can limit the number of fields that are listed to the configured number of nodes per navigator page.
