Maximum Absolute—Time Evaluation (Thermal Analysis)
Creo Simulate calculates the measure using one of several methods, depending on whether you selected At Point or Maximum Abs as the spatial evaluation method.
If you selected At Point as the spatial evaluation method, Creo Simulate calculates the maximum absolute value at the selected point over all the time steps. Depending on which time span you select from the ancillary drop-down list, Creo Simulate calculates the maximum quantity absolute value over the entire analysis or over a specified time range.
If you selected Maximum Abs as the spatial evaluation method, Creo Simulate calculates the quantity maximum absolute value over the model at each step. The software then compares these values and reports the largest magnitude it finds among the steps. Depending on which time span you select from the ancillary drop-down list, Creo Simulate calculates the quantity maximum absolute value over the entire analysis or over a specified time range.
You can find the measure value in the summary file. If you select a spatial evaluation of Maximum or Minimum, this option is not available. Also, this option is not available if you select Magnitude as a measure component.
