Analytica User GuideExamining a ModelValues in Object Window

When reviewing a model and trying to understand how it works, it is useful to show the value of a variable and its inputs in the Object window. To switch on this option, select Show with Values from the Object menu. The Object window for a variable then shows the mid (deterministic) value of the variable and each of its inputs.

Atom and array values: If a value has not yet been calculated, it shows a Calc button. Click to compute it. If the resulting value is an atom — a single number or text value, not an array — it shows the value in the Object window, as above. If the value is an array, it shows instead a Result button , which you can click to compute and display the array in a separate Result window.

For more about the Result window, see Result Tables and Graphs.
