Export reduced results to a UNV file
Choose Results tab→Results Manipulation group→Reduction .
If there are multiple results sets loaded, or if the results contain multiple time steps, load cases, or iterations, the Create Expression dialog box appears. Select the results and load case or iteration, define post-processing expressions, and click Close.For complete steps, see Create post-processing expressions.The Scalar Reduction dialog box is displayed, and the expressions you created are listed in the Expression Manager table.
In the Scalar Reduction dialog box, from the Type list, select Create Post View.
In the Formula group, enter a formula using standard expression syntax to apply to the selected load cases.Right-click a post expression in the Expression Manager list and choose Insert to add it to the Formula text box. You can combine post expressions using 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.
In the Output group, 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 you specify the results components and operation, and selecting Full from the Create Result list.
Type 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 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.
Exporting UNV data as companion results
Follow these steps after you specify 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.
Type 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, type 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.
