Querying and Saving Results
Use the simulation probe to view and save result quantities for a simulation study. You can create simulation probes to view the following:
• Value of the displayed result quantity at a particular point, along with the coordinates of the selected location on your model.
• Maximum value of a result quantity for a selected surface.
• Minimum value of a result quantity for a selected surface.
You can create multiple probes for different quantities in a single simulation study. After you create a probe you can save it with the model.
To Create a Simulation Probe
1. Click
Simulation Probe to open the
Simulation Probe dialog box.
2. Select a point or a surface for which you want to query the result quantity. The selected point or surface appears in the Probed Entity collector.
3. Select one of the following result components:
◦ On Point—View the result quantity at a point along with the coordinates of the point.
◦ Minimum—View the minimum value of the result quantity for a selected surface.
◦ Maximum—View the maximum value of the result quantity for a selected surface.
4. Click
Details to view the name of the simulation study, the coordinates of the selected point along with the result quantity, or the maximum or minimum value of the result quantity for a selected surface.
5. Click Save, specify a name for the probe and click OK to save the probe and add it to the Model Tree.
The probe is also saved as an analysis in the model and can be retrieved by clicking Analysis > Saved Analysis.
