The <b class="uiTerm">Top Contributors</b> section of the <b class="uiTerm">Results</b> dialog box lists the top three contributors (assuming the highlighted measurement had at least three tolerances). The slider under each name lets you estimate each tolerance's contribution. (You can find exact percentages by choosing <b class="uiTerm">Output to Information Window</b>.)
      </p>
      <p class="para_division"><b class="uiTerm">Top Contributors</b> shows contributors for the measurement that is highlighted in the <b class="uiTerm">Results</b> dialog box. To highlight a different measurement, choose it in the measurements list box.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">One of the contributors that may appear is Assembly Float, which is applied automatically by TSV. When a nominal clearance condition exists between mating feature pairs (such as hole/hole, hole/pin, pin/slot, or tab/slot), TSV floats the object with respect to the target, based on the available radial clearance. See the picture below for an example. The arrow points at the clearance that will vary if you run a TSV simulation on this assembly.</p>
