Value Filter
The Value filter available in the Contour panel allows you to specify threshold criteria for processing results only in a specific range.
The Value filter options (located in the middle of the panel) include:
- Mode
- Select an option from the drop-down menu:
- None (*default setting)
- <= (less than or equal to)
- >= (greater than or equal to)
- Range
- Value
- Use the field(s) to specify a numerical value or range of values.
Any entities (nodes/elements/parts/systems) that have values outside of the
filter parameters will be displayed as gray in the graphics area.
The Value filter options can be used in conjunction with the Count and Layer filter, in order to determine which layers/plies are failing or exceeding certain threshold criteria.
The tables below illustrate how the various Value filter and Layer filter
options work together:All layers are included in the count and other calculations (Max, Min,
etc.).
Only the layers which are less than or equal to 0.4 (the Value filter setting) are
included in the count and other calculations (Max, Min, etc.).
Only the layers which are greater than or equal to 0.4 (the Value filter setting) are
included in the count and other calculations (Max, Min, etc.).
Only layers 1, 3, and 5 (selected using the Layer filter) which are greater than or
equal to 0.4 (the Value filter setting) and are included in the count and other calculations
(Max, Min, etc.).
