Save reduced results to a field

  1. Choose Results tab→Results Manipulation group→Reduction .

  2. If there are multiple results sets loaded, or if the results contain multiple time steps, load cases, or iterations, the Create Expression dialog box appears. Select the results and load case or iteration, define post-processing expressions, and click Close.For complete steps, see Create post-processing expressions.The Scalar Reduction dialog box appears, and the expressions you created are listed in the Expression Manager table.

  3. In the Scalar Reduction dialog box, from the type list, select Create Field.

  4. In the Formula group, enter a formula using standard expression syntax to apply to the post-processing expressions.Right-click a post expression in the Expression Manager list and choose Insert to add it to the Formula text box. You can combine post expressions using any functions, math operators, or named expressions. Type the first few letters of the function name in the Formula field to view a list of supported functions that match the string.

  5. In the Output group, type a name for the field in the Name box, and optionally type a label and description.

  6. From the Independent Domain list, select the independent domain for the table field. Choose from:Node ID. Sets the independent domain to the IDs of identified nodes.Element ID. Sets the independent domain to the IDs of identified elements.Cartesian. Sets the independent domain to the global Cartesian coordinates of node locations.Element-Node ID. Sets the independent domain to the IDs of identified nodes and elements.

  7. From the Dependent Domain list, select the dependent domain for the table field. Available dependent domains vary depending on the result type and whether the result is a scalar, vector, or tensor quantity.

  8. For element-nodal results components, specify the element value at nodes to evaluate. Choose from:AverageMinimumMaximum****Sum

  9. Click OK.
