Data Explorer

The Data Explorer is a Trade Study tool used to display data collected from a Model. It supports Parametric Study, Carpet Plot, Design of Experiments (DOE), Optimization Tool, and Probabilistic Analysis Tool Trade Study tools.

While data is being collected in the Table, the Data Explorer window displays a progress meter, a halt button, and the data.
