Thanks for the attachment, I had a look and can now explain the different numbers.
The current in the transformer is through the winding and for both directions. Let's say the RMS value is X and the average will be zero or near-zero.
The current in the rectifier is for one half cycle, the RMS value will actually be X/SQRT(2). This seems counter intuitive because you think it would be half, but that's not the case - it's really 70.7%.
I even had to convince myself, and made up an Excel spreadsheet to step through some example numbers to check it out (attached).
Part of the problem here is that a full suite of min/max/diff/avg/rms is provided for all points and while some of the numbers are useful (i.e. max and average for a rectifier), some of the results like RMS current in a rectifier are of limited or dubious value in the real world. Whereas in a capacitor, it's a very useful value to have.
Hope that explains the background and why the numbers are not what you would intuitively expect - I'll put a "health warning" in the documentation about this.

Duncan
