Histogram Plot

Use the Histogram page to visualize the distribution of a variable in a trade study. In addition to a graphical Histogram representation of the data, the page also contains a Box plot of the distribution, as well as displaying statistics of the distribution, including mean, standard deviation, quantiles, etc. Finally, the Histogram page contains bounds on what values of the variable are acceptable and computes a reliability statistics based on how many runs fall into that defined space.

To configure a plot, select from the Plot Options menu on the left side of each plot:

• Dimensions - set which variable is displayed on which axis
• Constraints - specify upper and lower limits on design variables
• Objectives - set weighted values for design variables
• Series - set options for the plot display
• Layout - control global layout options for the overall plot area
• Axes - set options for the axes
• Legend - set the display and appearance of the plot legend

You can also use the View Controls toolbar, in the upper right of the plot area, to specify some settings.
