Select Various ways to perform a selection on objects.
Select All (Ctrl-A) Selects all objects (most useful in the Work Flow window or in the Design Space window).
Toggle Selection (Ctrl-T) Inverts the selection between the available objects and the selected objects.
Select Marked In the Design Space window, selects only the designs that have a check sign in the M column.
Select Unmarked In the Design Space window, selects only the designs that have not a check sign in the M column.
Select Unfeasible In the DOE and in the Design Space window, selects only the designs that do not respect at least one constraint.
Mark
Mark All Puts a check sign in the M column on the selected table, for all designs.
Unmark All Removes the check sign in the M column on the selected table, for all designs.
Toggle Mark Reverts the check sign in the M column on the selected table.
Mark Selected After having performed a selection (either manually or with the find command), it puts a check sign in the M column on the selected designs of the selected table.
Unmark Selected After having performed a selection (either manually or with the find command), it removes the check sign from the M column on the selected designs of the selected table.
Mark Pareto Designs Puts a check sign in the M column on the designs space table, for all designs belonging to the Pareto frontier according to the following criteria:
Mark Virtual Designs Marks the Virtual designs.
Mark Unfeasible Designs Marks designs which break constraints.
Remove
Remove Duplicate Entries Removes from the selected table all repeated designs (i.e. all input variables having the same values).
Remove Error Designs Removes from the selected table all designs which brought the simulation to an error or that contain an invalid value (i.e. removes red rows).
Remove Virtual Designs Removes from the Design Space table all Virtual designs (i.e. removes blue rows).
