Save identified results to a table field
Once you have identified data from your results that you want to create a table field from, you can write the identified data (node or element IDs, values, min, max, sum, and average) to create a table field. You can plot, edit, define spatial distribution boundary conditions, and export table fields from identified results like any other field.
In the Identify dialog box, click Create Field .
In the Create Table Field dialog box, type a name for the results access field, and, optionally, specify a label and description.
Specify the independent domain. If you specify Node ID, the field maps the results record to node IDs. If you use this field to define boundary conditions for a subsequent analysis, the new analysis must have an identical or topologically equivalent mesh.If you select Cartesian, you can specify additional Spatial Domain Options. Select the Deformed Coordinates check box to output nodal coordinates based on the current post view’s deformation settings. Choose a spatial map type to define how the field is mapped to model space.If you specify Element ID or Node ID, the field maps the results record to node or element IDs.
Specify the dependent domain. Depending on the results type:To create a field that contains the unitless magnitude of the quantity, specify Parameter.To create a field that contains the magnitudes of the components of the vector quantity and the associated units, specify Cartesian.To create a field that contains the unitless magnitudes of the components of the vector quantity, specify Parameter Space.To create a field that contains the magnitude of the quantity and the associated units, specify the current result type.
For element-nodal results, specify the method used to return a single value at node locations. In the Element Value at Node group, choose from Average, Minimum, Maximum, or Sum.
From the Duplicate Values list, select how the table field processes duplicate data.For more information, see Duplicate data.
Click OK to create the field. You can continue to identify results, or click Close to close the Identify dialog box.The new field appears in the Simulation Navigator under the Fields container for the Simulation file.
