Run the analysis
When you have entered all the required information in the Define Job dialog box (study name, analysis type, and required results), click OK.
The analysis begins and, after a delay, a progress window is displayed briefly. When the analysis is completed, Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis displays a graphical representation of the results and adds a results symbol in the Structure Browser. Make sure that the Results check box in the Show Properties dialog box is clicked. The results are also available through the Dataset dialog box including a key to the contour colors used in the results display.
Retrieving results
Use the Retrieve Result button in the Analyze group to retrieve existing results when you load a model containing result data that needs to be recalled and made available to Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis. Remember to use the Structure Browser to see if result data is valid and available.
