ParameterSymbolDescriptionDimension (Range)
1. EntityN/AUse to set a faceset or marker by General Picker. When the faceset is selected as the action entity, you can select the post processing type of output value.N/A
2. Post Processing…N/AUse to set the post processing type of output value. When "Maximum Value" is selected, the maximum value in results of all nodes on the faceset will be reported. When "Average Value" is selected, their mean value will be reported.N/A
