Customizable automated system for archiving and comparing the responses and attributes of model based designs

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system for providing customization in choosing what types of model responses are recorded and/or compared. An archive tool is provided so that a user can specify a rule or condition that would trigger the archive of a response. The archive tool can further provide the user with flexibility of how model attributes are stored with the archived response. The stored model attributes can be used to identify a specific archived response. The present invention further provides a browsing mechanism for browsing archives and selecting archives for comparison. Any number of archives may be selected and compared. The selected archives can have their responses plotted individually, together, or passed through analysis functions.
