Model Filters View Filter Logic Graphical Display

The Model Filter Logic Display feature provides a graphical display which allows you to quickly browse information about a Model Filter and the corresponding Model Conditions. The model filter logic displays enable convenient Model Filter-by-Model Filter navigation through the complete list of model filters. From the model filter logic display, you can find out a model filter name and Logical Comparison object, and model conditions names that are part of the particular model filter. Moreover you can find out all information associated with the model filter or the model conditions by pressing right click with the mouse and directly invoking their associated information dialogs. The advantage of the model filter logic displays, is that they are auto-created logic diagrams.

Along the top of the model filter view display resides a panel of controls. To move the model filter logic view to a particular model filter, use the up and down arrow to move to the desired the model filter in the list. . If you are navigating and want to return to a previously open model filter press History to bring up a menu list of the previously open model filters. The menu will show a list of the last model filters which have been visited in a model filter view.

Below this top panel sits the actual model filter display. The model filter you have chosen to inspect, is represented as the last model filter to the right of the display. Notice that from this model filter there are also a connection to other model filters that are in a column. They represent the model filters in which the selected model filter is used as a model condition . When you drag the mouse over one of the neighboring model filters symbols, it turns into a pointing finger, then by clicking the left mouse button when the mouse cursor is in this shape redefines the target model filter to be the model filter whose symbol you just clicked. The model filter view display is redrawn to show the same sort of display for the newly chosen target. Right-clicking on the model filter view display’s background will generate the local menu.

The model filter background color can be red or green. Green means that the model criteria is satisfied and the evaluation of the model filter is true. Red means that the evaluation is false. The model filter objects also can have a circle entering to the model filter. This means that the connecting model filter or model condition will be negated. For example, if the model condition or filter entering another model filter model criteria is true it will evaluated as false in the entering model filter. Repeated colors of the Model Filter Names and Conditions represent that the particular Model Filter or Condition is used more than once in the Model Filter Display.

The model filter view display can be generated using any of the following methods:

• Right click on the model filter of interest on the Model Explorer on the model filter Case Information of the contingency analysis folder. This will bring the local menu and the display can be opened by selecting "Insert Filter Logic..."
• From the Contingency Analysis Tool Dialog, Go to the Contingency Definitions inside the Options ribbon. In the model filters definitions case information repeat the previously explained process.
• Pressing the "View Filter Logic" button in the Model Filter Display Dialog.
