Solution:

In the Code Compliance report, the Max Range combination is printed as "TR:"" followed by the thermal range that produces the maximum stress, e.g. "TR:T1-T3", where "TR:" is the abbreviation for (T)hermal (R)ange. Using the Max Range option provides the maximum stress range without printing the results for every thermal range combination explicitly.

The setting is controlled by Tools>Model Options> "Include Max Range comb". See the online help for full details on this setting. In addition, review the Tools> Model Options> "No. of thermal ranges" settings, again see the online help for details on this setting.
