I see RMS current in the Stress tab but I can't find peak current anywhere. This would be helpful when selecting alternate parts.

technically we don't show peak current anywhere in the tool. This would be a good thing to have I think.
I am surprised that there hasn't been more chatter about this. You really need to know the RMS current, Peak current and ripple current (p-p) to properly specify things like the Inudctor, input and/or output caps, catch diode or syncronous rectifier, etc.
Ideally I would like to see a calculated time-domain waveform. Next best (and certainly adequate) would be to have the p-p ripple current and max current along with the RMS current.
