Using Solver Results in the Postprocessor
Your ability to view FEA solver results in the postprocessor depends on the solver you used as well as whether you ran the solver online or output a deck. Here is an overview:
• NASTRAN solver—You can view analysis results in the postprocessor regardless of whether you run NASTRAN from within Creo Simulate or output a deck for external use with the NASTRAN solver. However, if you output a deck and alter it before running it with the solver, you may not be able to postprocess some or all of the results in Creo Simulate.
• ANSYS solver—You can only view analysis results in the postprocessor if you run the FEA solver from within Creo Simulate. If you choose, instead, to output a deck for use outside Creo Simulate, you cannot import the results back into Creo Simulate.
