Distribution plots display the calculated results of the individual elements. At the shared edge of two elements, RAM Concept uses simple averaging. This produces reasonable results in most cases, but can cause distortions of the integrated result when RAM Concept averages a small element’s result with a large element’s result. The selected distribution plots are additionally affected by the plan averaging that occurs in the 2D plot controlled by the Plot () dialog box.

This distortion caused by averaging is another reason why you should always use design strips and design sections to determine design quantities.
