Static Output Processor menu: Filters

Allows you to filter your static output reports. Filtering customizes output to just the information you want to see.

Some filters apply globally to output reports (meaning any kind of report you generate from the Output Processor) or apply to a specific report type (such as only to restraint reports).

Report-Specific Filters

Apply report-specific filters when you want the software to filter only reports that are related to the filter setting. For example, if you wanted to generate a report to see all the allowable stresses in a piping system that are greater than 80 percent, set the Percent box on the Stresses tab to >80. Then, when you generate any of the stress-related reports in the Output Processor, the software filters the data to show only those stresses greater than 80 percent.

Global Filters

Apply global filters to node number or line number ranges for the software to filter all reports that include the node or line numbers specified. For example, if you filter on node numbers from 10 to 100, then for any report you generate in the Output Processor, the software filters and shows only the data that is applicable to nodes 10 to 100.

  • Filters do not apply to the summary information that appears at the top of a report.

  • The software shows the filters applied near the top of the output report, as shown below.
