The Statistics menu option computes the linear correlation for all selected field and scalar quantities. For each selected quantity pair (all combinations of a single field quantity and a scalar quantity), a single result object is created. Each result object is a field vector that contains the linear correlation at each mesh position for the specific field quantity with the respective scalar quantity.
Note: Design identifiers of the field and scalar quantities must be compatible.
