Result types and results

Result type	Description	Examples
Nodal	Nodal results have a single value at each node.	Displacement Temperature
Element-Nodal	Element-nodal results have multiple values at each node. In general, a different value exists at each node for every element that shares the node.	Stress Heat Flux
Elemental	Elemental results have a single value for each element at the centroid of the element. Because some solvers do not output elemental results, post-processing provides you with options to create elemental results from element-nodal results.	Stress Heat Flux
Element-Edge	Element-edge results have a value for each edge of an element.	Pressure Acoustics
Element-Edge-Node	Element-edge-node results have a value for each node on each edge of an element.	Pressure Acoustics
Element-Face	Element-face results have a value for each face of an element.	Pressure Acoustics
Element-Face-Node	Element-face-node results have a value for each node on each face of an element.	Pressure Acoustics

For details on how these results are calculated, see your solver documentation.
