Exporting result quantities as named expressions
After you solve your model, you can identify result quantities to export as named expressions. The software exports the minimum, maximum, or mean average result value to the expression. You can then use the expression to validate model requirements.
For example, you can create an elemental stress result measure for your solution for the von Mises component from subcase 1. An expression is created that contains the maximum value of von Mises stress from subcase 1. In the Requirements Validation dialog box, you could then associate the new expression with a stress requirement. For more information about associating an expression with a requirement, see Create a user requirement and Create a check in the Requirements Validation dialog box.
You can also use result measures to define a Geometry Optimization design objective or constraint.
You can manage defined result measures in the Result Measure Manager dialog box. If you change the FE model and re-solve it, you must update the result measure in the Result Measure Manager dialog box.
Note:
If you solve the model with the Run Solve in Foreground option selected in the solution attributes, the result measure is updated automatically.
