Plots
At the core of any report package is a solid plotting engine. Nexus provides a flexible, interactive plotting engine capable of many different types of plots.

Layouts
The layout template structure is the skeleton of any Nexus report. A rich collection of templates allows the report designer to organize information in the manner best suited to the intended audience
Table of Contents
The system includes semi-automated table of contents generation.
Image comparison
A parameter study for a pipe with two inlets is run. Three different values for the velocity atthe first inlet and four velocity values at the second inlet are explored. This results in twelve design points. Here, you can evaluate the results from the simulation via side by side image comparison. Note that you can span, zoom and turn on the grid on the images for a better comparison. A detailed description on how to create such comparison can be found at this link.Enhanced image comparison
A parameter study for a pipe with two inlets is run. Three different values for the velocity atthe first inlet and four velocity values at the second inlet are explored. This results in twelve design points. Here, you can evaluate the results from the simulation via side by side image comparison. The images displayed are enhanced. This means you can access information about the value of a variable by clicking on the pixel. A detailed description on how to create such comparison can be found at this link.Images
Images tagged with their Nexus IDs are a core part of the display framework. They can be displayed in specialized layouts such as the Carousel and Slider to enhance their presentation. Images can be left their native size or resized manually. Nexus "deep" images can show additional options for exploration.

Animations
Movies can be integrated into any report and displayed in various ways. mp4 (H.264) is the format that works best in Nexus.
Trees
Nexus supports formal data hierarchies in the form of trees. They can be interactively expanded and collapsed. They support dynamic, rule-based formatting to identify outliers and data of interest.
Basic Display
Here is an example of basic tree display. Expand the various items to view the complete dataset.

Tree Merge
Generators can be applied to trees. The simplest generator can merge multiple trees into a single tree.
Input Trees
Here are two trees we would like to compare. Note that most (but not all) of the row names are the same. The tree merge operation works by collecting cells with the same tree row names.| Configuration | |

Merged Trees
The columns from the input trees are merged into multiple tree columns. Note that the operation has been configured to use the string "N/A" for cells that do not exist in the common tree layout.Values retain their input nature allowing conditional formatting based on text or numeric values to be applied to the tree value columns. In the example, we apply conditional formatting to columns past the first one, comparing the values to the first data column. "N/A" values have a blue background, numeric values smaller than the initial column have a red background while values greater than the first column have a green background.

Table Generators
Nexus provides the ability to generate new data derived from existing data. The mechanism to generate temporary data is called Generators. Nexus currently provides a number of Table generators, some of which are highlighted below. See the documentation for the full list.
Original Data
The intial input consists of three simple tables.

Merged Tables
A table merge generator can be used to convert the three individual tables into a single table.
Loading...
Table Reduction Operation
Rows and columns in tables can have mathematical operations performed on selections of rows and columns. In this example, the minimum and maximum values for each column are computed to create two additional rows, plotted here.

Conditional Formatting
Tables and trees may have conditional formatting applied to their cells. Here, the merged table is displayed with the background color set to green when the Phase value is greater than the other Phase values and red when the value is less than the others. Values outside the range [0.25, -0.25] are displayed in bold typeface.| Θ | Phase I | Phase II | Phase III | |

Analysis Results
Users can configure the model by selecting analysis parameters. The Linear Regression Analysis processes the table, returns the fitted response variable line and the analysis results tree, which includes the intercept, R Squared, and coefficients. In this example, the user inputs Misalignment as the response variable and Max Stress Housing as the predictor variable.
