Mean Wedges

After a Probabilistic Analysis is computed, the Mean Wedges are initially displayed. The Mean Wedges are the wedges corresponding to the mean probabilistic input data (i.e., the mean input values entered in the Input Data dialog).

Mean Wedge Results

In general, the results for the Mean Wedges will be slightly different from the average values of results generated by the Probabilistic Analysis.

For example: the Factors of Safety of the Mean Wedges will not necessarily be equal to the averages of all the wedge Factors of Safety generated by the Probabilistic Analysis. This applies to all properties of the mean wedges (i.e., input data and analysis results). However, if the Number of Samples is large enough, the properties of the Mean Wedges should approach the average (mean) values of input data samples and output results generated by the Probabilistic Analysis.

Resetting the Mean Wedge

If you are currently viewing a Picked Wedge, you can reset the display of the Mean Wedge by selecting Show Mean Wedges from the View menu. This will re-display the Mean Wedges in the Sidebar. All other views will also be reset to display the Mean Wedge data (e.g., Info Viewer).
