Sorting capabilities

Each of the three tabs makes it possible to sort the variables according to several criteria (simply by clicking on the corresponding column):

• Name and instance of the submodel: Submodel

• Physical domain: Domain (mechanical, hydraulic )

• Variable type: Type (R, C, I or RS)

• Variable suffix: Suffix (damp, spring)

• Final value: Value

This allows you to focus exactly on what you want to see. You can for example decide to locate where most of the system energy is lost by selecting the R variables, or to look after the stored energy/power by selecting the C and I variables. By default, the variables are sorted in accordance with their types. First come the R variables, then the C variables, then the I variables, and lastly the RS variables.

The default sorting makes it possible see the system losses at a glance (i.e. the R elements at the top of the list and starting from the major ones inside every type). For consistency reasons, the selected sorting is reused in the bar chart or in the plot window.
