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.
