Contingency Results: View Results By Element - Contingencies Section
The Contingencies section gives a list of all the contingencies that caused a violation on the selected
device during the analysis. This display is very similar to the Contingency Violations Display. While the
Contingency Violations Display shows the elements violated under the contingency, this display shows
the contingencies that caused the violation. If you then select one of the contingencies in this list, the
Contingency Definition section displays the actions that took place during the selected contingency.
Also, when you have selected a contingency from this list, you can click the Show Other Violations
button. This will change your dialog to the contingencies tab and select the contingency you have
selected, thus allow you to see other violations caused by this contingency.
The Combined Tables button provides access to the Combined Tables options described in Other
Contingency Actions. In addition to these options, there is one other option for displaying What
actually occurred? found under the Combined Tables button. Selecting this will display a dialog box
giving the details of the actions applied during all contingencies and any actions that may have been
skipped.
This page provides an easier way to check the contingency results when you are concerned with the
results for a specific device in the system. The View Results By Element page provides a much easier
tool for this kind of examination, as opposed to looking through each contingency on the
Contingencies tab and trying to find each instance of a violation on the desired element.
