CASES: Combine Files

Description

Combines up to 32 source result files from the same model to create a new target result file.

The same source file can be used in multiple source file locations if required. This enables combinations to be made between different result cases of the same source result file.

Once generated, the target file maintains a history of the source files used to create it so that if it needs to be modified, the previous combination setup can be recovered by opening the previously generated target file.

The supported result file types are:
