Scalar Reduction dialog box

Type
Export	Exports a universal file to the specified directory.
Create Post View	Generates a post view of reduced results.
Create Field	Exports the reduced results as a field.
Expression Manager
Lists all components or result types on which to perform the results manipulation operation.The following column headings are displayed:Expression Name lists the expression name assigned to the selected result types. Right-click a component in the table and choose Edit to rename the expression.Result Type lists the specified result type.Component****Unit displays the current units for the listed component or result type.CSYS Right-click a column head or empty table cell and choose Export to Browser or Export to Spreadsheet to document your results expressions.
Edit Expression	Opens the Create Expression dialog box, where you can specify shell or beam recovery points, specify complex results options, and so on for the selected expression.
Add Expression	Opens the Create Expression dialog box, where you can select a results type and component, specify shell or beam recovery points, specify complex results options, and so on to define a new expression.
Delete Expression	Removes the result type from the result type list.
Delete all	Removes all result types from the result type list.
Formula
Text box	Displays the formula to apply to all selected result types.Enter the formula using standard expression syntax.
Units System
The following options are available when Type is set to Export or for Simcenter 3D Results Viewer.
From Result	Inherits the units system used in the specified results set. Select a loaded results set from the list.If you add the result as a companion result to another results set, or import it into a simulation as an imported solution, the software can convert values into the target units system as needed.
User Define	Lists the current results units system in which the reduced results are stored. Click Change to select a new units system from the Result Units dialog box.
None	Stores scalar results as real numbers with no units system defined.If you add the result as a companion result to another results set, or import it into a simulation as an imported solution, the results inherit the target units system with no value conversion.
Error Handling
Incompatible Results	Specifies how to treat incompatible data at nodes or elements in any of the selected components or result types.SkipIgnores nodes or elements where the component or result type contain incompatible data. AbortAbandons the operation.
No Data	Specifies how to treat selected components or result types when data at nodes or elements is absent or incomplete.SkipIgnores the node or element where component or result type data is missing.Zero-fillOutputs a value of zero for the missing data.
Evaluation Errors	Specifies how to treat data at nodes or elements when evaluating the specified expression would return an error (as, for example, division by zero or the square root of a negative number).SkipIgnores the node or element where the error occurred. Zero-fillOutputs a value of zero at the node or element where the error occurred.AbortAbandons the operation.
Output (Export type or for Simcenter 3D Results Viewer)
The following options are available when the Type is set to Export or for Simcenter 3D Results Viewer.
Create Result	Specifies the type of results to create:CompanionCreates a universal file and automatically adds it as a companion result to the specified solution.Full****Full is the only choice available in Simcenter 3D Results Viewer.Creates a universal file.
Companion Result Reference	Appears only when Create Result is set to Companion.Specifies the name of the solution in the current model to add the companion results to. Choose a solution from the list.
Companion Name	Appears only when Create Result is set to Companion.Specifies the name of the companion results. These is the name that appears in the Simulation Navigator under the Results node. Type a name in the text box.
Export Model	Lets you export the model.
Load Result Immediately	Controls the loading of the load case under the result in the Post Processing Navigator. Select the Load Result Immediately check box to automatically load the load case. Clear the Load Result Immediately check box to manually unload and then reload the results to view the newly created load case.
Solution Name	Appears only when Create Result is set to Full.Specifies the name for the imported solution. This is the name that appears in the Simulation Navigator.
Create Solution	Appears only when Create Result is set to Full.When selected, imports the universal file to the working Simulation file and creates a new solution. Clear this check box to export the universal file without creating a new solution.
Append Method	Appears only when Create Result is set to Companion.Determines how companion results appear in the Post Processing Navigator:Create new load caseCompanion results appear as a new load case in the specified solution.Merge into primary result dataCompanion results appear as a results type in the current load case of the specified solution.
Universal File	Specifies the path and filename for the resulting universal file.Enter a path and filename in the text box, or click Browse to navigate to an appropriate location.
Result Type	Lists available result types. This is the result type that will be displayed in the post view header.
Output Name	Specifies the output name. This is the name that will appear in the Post Processing Navigator.
Load Case Name	Specifies the load case name. This is the name that will appear in the Post Processing Navigator.
Output (Create Post View type)
The following options are available when the Type is set to Create Post View.
Result Type	Lists available result types.
Result Unit	Specifies the units for the post view. These are the units that will be displayed in the post view header and used in the color bar.
Result Type Name	Specifies the result type name. This is the result type that will be displayed in the post view header.
Output (Create Field type)
The following options are available when the Type is set to Create Field.
Name	Specifies the name of the field.
Label	Specifies the unique numeric identifier for the next element.
Description	Specifies a description (optional) for the field. Edit or delete the description, or accept the default.
Independent Domain	Specifies the independent domain for the field. Choose from:Node IDSets the independent domain to the IDs of identified nodes.Element IDSets the independent domain to the IDs of identified elements.CartesianSets the independent domain to the global Cartesian coordinates of node locations.Element-Node IDSets the independent domain to the IDs of identified nodes and elements.
Dependent Domain	Specifies the dependent domain for the field. Available dependent domains vary depending on the result type and whether the result is a scalar, vector, or tensor quantity.
Element Value at Node	For element-nodal results, determines the element results value to return at each node location. Choose from:AverageMinimumMaximum****Sum
