Result variables

A result variable defines a scalar expression that you can use as input to a result probe.

To define a result variable, you must specify the following:

• A result type such as displacement or temperature.

• A location, which can be nodal, elemental, or element nodal.

• A data component.

You use a result variable to define a formula for a result probe. A result probe is associated with a solution, and it specifies results, load cases, iterations, or geometry to be used to generate the results.

The result variable is not associated with any solution. It is stored in a Simulation file. You can use a result variable in multiple solutions and result probes.

Examples of result variables

The following are examples of result variables that you can use to define a result probe:

• TemperatureName =TMPResult Type =TemperatureLocation = NodalComponent = Scalar

• Stress errorName = StressErrorResult Type = Stress Error Norm Location = ElementalComponent = Scalar

• Worst principal stress at nodes on elementsName = WPStressResult Type = StressLocation = Element-NodalComponent = Tensor, Worst Principal

• Worst principal stress average at elementsName = WPStressAvgResult Type = StressLocation = Element-NodalComponent = Tensor, Worst PrincipalNodal Combination = Element ValueCriterion = Average

• Conductive fluxName = CResult Type = Conductive FluxLocation = NodalComponent = Vector, Magnitude
