Generating result probe output

The type of data specified by a result probe determines the type of output that the result probe can generate, such as post views, graphs, or fields.

You can select the output type when you first create the result probe or any time after. The output definitions are saved with the result probe.

• To generate the output when you first create the result probe, in the Result Probe dialog box, select the output type from the Output Options list, select the Create Output check box, and click OK.

• In the Simulation Navigator, right-click the result probe and select the output type.

Post views

Here are some ways that you can work with post views generated from result probes:

• When you create the result probe, you can choose to display results on part or all of the model.

• As with other post view displays, you can use the Edit Post View command to further refine the post view display generated from a result probe.

• You can display multiple post views simultaneously. In the Simulation Navigator, select the result probes, right-click and choose Overlay.

• For results over time or iterations, you can use the Animate, Previous Mode/Iteration, or Next Mode Iteration commands to view the series of results.

Graphs

Result probes can generate several types of graph output.

• Stacked graphs. If multiple result probes produce the same type of graph, you can display the graphs simultaneously. In the Simulation Navigator, select the result probes, right-click and choose Create Stack Graph.

• Graphs across iterations or time. If multiple result probes produce the same type of graph, you can overlay the graphs. In the Result Probe dialog box, set X-Axis Defined by to Iteration.

• Graphs with a query curve. When you create a result probe, you can create a query curve to specify where you want results reported. You can generate a 2D graph or a 3D graph for nodes/elements/points and their values versus another variable such as time.

• Two function graphs. If two result probes have the same iteration definition and space selection (resultant space) and are from the same solution, you can create a two function graph. In the Simulation Navigator, select the result probes, right-click and choose Create graph. You can also switch to Functions and Graphing to edit the two function graph. The two function graph is also saved as part of a layout state. For more information about layout states, see Using layouts to save and restore views.

Fields

You can export result probe output to a table field. You can treat this field like any other field: plot, export, or save this field to an AFU file, or use it to define field-based boundary conditions in subsequent analyses.

When generating a field from the results of a result probe, you select the independent and dependent domains, the spatial map, and other values directly in the Result Probe dialog box. You can also use the Duplicate Data Selection list to specify how to resolve duplicates. The software saves the values you enter for a field with the result probe. If you later choose to output a table field from the result probe, the software uses the values you set to create the field. You can edit the result probe to change the field.

You can also save a table field to a .txt file using the right-click Export to Field File command.

Export to UNV file

You can export result probe output to an I-deas universal file (*.unv), and store, manage, and post-process it like any other result file. You can export this UNV file as a full result file, and the software automatically imports it into the Post-Processing Navigator. You can also export it as a companion result to an existing solution.
