Compare table
The compare table is used to compare two simulation results over time.
Creating a time table

The controls beneath the table let you change the appearance of the table.
Highlight
Highest - Select to highlight the highest value in each column.
Lowest - Select to highlight the lowest value in each column.
Condition - Select to enter a condition. The condition is on the form xstart < x < end and will be evaluated for each cell in the table. Cells who’s value fulfills the condition will be highlighted.

Properties
This screen let you edit properties such as name, that are common to all tables. Please see editing table properties for more information.
Data

Rows
Output - Click the … button to select the first output.
Compare with - Click the … button to select the second output.
Option - Select how the outputs are compared:
A/B - Display the ratio between the two outputs.
A-B - Display the difference between the two outputs.
A-B/abs(A) - Display the absolute (normalized) difference between the two outputs.
Mean – Only available for probabilistic simulations. Select this button if you want to compare the mean values of the outputs.
Column
To change a column header, select the column in the table and then enter a new name in the Title field.
