Export combined results to a UNV file
To export results combined using expressions to a UNV file:
Choose Results tab→Results Manipulation group→Combination .
In the Results Combination dialog box, from the Type list, select Export.
Specify the result to combine:From the Result list, select the solution or imported results.From the Load Case list, select a step, load case, or subcase.Or, select All to quickly select all load cases for the selected result set.From the Iteration list, select a mode or time step.Or, select All to quickly select all iterations for the selected result set.From the Result Type list, select a result type, such as stress or displacement.
Click Add specified type to list .The specified result type for the selected load case and iteration is listed in the load case list box.
Add additional result types. For each result type consider the following:All specified components must have the same components and location (nodal, elemental, or element-nodal).Select from loaded results, load cases, or iterations.
In the Formula group, enter the formula to apply to the selected load cases.In the load case list, the expression name for each selected result type is listed in the first column. Scroll to the right or resize the dialog box as needed. Right-click the expression name in the load case list and choose Edit to rename the expression. Note: Expression names must be unique, and may contain only the characters A – Z, a – z, and the digits 0 – 9.Right-click a result type in the load case list and choose Insert to add its expression name to the Formula text box. You can use any functions, math operators, or named expressions. Type the first few letters of the function name in the Formula field to view a list of supported functions that match the string.
From the Create Result list, specify whether you want full or companion results:To create a complete, independent UNV file, select Full. See Exporting UNV data as full results. To create companion results to the specified solution, select Companion. See Exporting UNV data as companion results.
Exporting UNV data as full results
Follow these steps after specifying the results components and operation, and selecting Full from the Create Result list.
Enter a name for the new solution. This is the name that appears in the Simulation Navigator.
(Optional) To immediately import the UNV file as a new solution in the Simulation file, select the Create Solution check box.
In the Universal File box, type a path and unique file name, or click Browse to navigate to an appropriate location.
Specify the universal file export options:From the Results Type list, select the appropriate result type. This is the result type that is displayed in the post view header during post-processing.Type an output name in the Output Name box. This is the results name that appears in the Post Processing Navigator. Type a load case name in the Load Case Name box. This is the load case name that appears in the Post Processing Navigator.
Click OK.
Exporting UNV data as companion results
Follow these steps after specifying the results components and operation, and selecting Companion from the Create Result list.
From the Companion Solution list, select an existing solution in the currently loaded Simulation file.
Enter a name for the companion results. This is the name that appears below the results node in the Simulation Navigator.
In the Universal File box, enter a path and unique file name in the text box, or click Browse to navigate to an appropriate location.
Specify the universal file export options:From the Results Type list, select the appropriate result type. This is the result type that is displayed in the post view header during post-processing.Type an output name in the Output Name box. This is the results name that appears in the Post Processing Navigator. Type a load case name in the Load Case Name box. This is the load case name that appears in the Post Processing Navigator.
Click OK.
