Inquire a result
Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis lets you inquire analysis result data at specific points on the part. The information is displayed in an output window.
1. Click FEA and then, in the Post Process group, click the arrow next to Results.
2. Click Inquire. The Inquire Results dialog box opens.
3. If necessary, specify the result to be inquired.
4. Select the dataset to be inquired.
5. Select the component of the dataset to be inquired.
6. Click Ref Point and click a point on the part.
Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis displays an output window containing the result data at the nearest nodal point to the specified reference point. A typical output is shown in the following:
0.0011306265033839335 mm
