Click on the View Results By Element page of the dialog.
The View Results By Element page contains five sub-pages: Lines/Transformers, Buses, Interfaces,
Nomogram Interfaces, and Custom Monitors. The information contained on each of the sub-pages
provides an alternate method of viewing information similar to that contained on the Contingencies
tab. The individual pages show model objects (subject to area/zone/owner filters) only if they are
associated with specific contingencies.

Contingency Analysis Dialog – View Results By Element
With the exception of Custom Monitors, the user can select any model object on its respective sheet to
see how many times a violation occurred on the device during the contingency analysis. When a
particular device is selected, the Contingencies and Contingency Definition sections give the details of
the specific contingencies that caused the violation (or violations) on the selected device. For example,
on the Lines/Transformers page:
Select the line from 2 to 5 as shown above. This line had one violation on the most recent
contingency analysis run. The contingencies section shows which contingency caused the violation
and the contingency definition section details the elements that define the contingency.
Switch back to the Contingencies tab of the dialog.
Scroll down in the list of contingencies and select the contingency labeled CHANGE LOAD AT BUS
2 (2)
Right-click on the element displayed in the Contingency Definition Section of the Contingencies tab
Select Show Dialog from the local menu.
