Analyzing multiphysics results
In Simcenter 3D Multiphysics solutions, the structural and thermal, flow, or thermal-flow results are listed together under the same solution in the Post Processing Navigator.

| Time Invariant |
The Time Invariant node under Thermal, Flow, or Thermal-Flow results node contains result sets that are constant over all steps in a transient analysis, such as maximum temperature and time at which it occurs.
In addition, the Post Processing Navigator the results of a Fourier axisymmetric analysis based on the harmonic index.

The available results depend on the Structural Output Requests, Thermal Output Requests, Flow Output Requests, and Thermal Flow Output Requests modeling objects that you specified at the solution level or solution step level, and on the Output Control options that you specified for each solution step. For more information about Output Control options, see Defining multiphysics solution steps.
