Maximum Absolute—Time or Frequency Evaluation Method
Creo Simulate calculates the measure using one of several methods, depending on whether you select At Point or Maximum Abs as the spatial evaluation method and which time span you selected from the Dynamic Evaluation option menu.
If you selected At Point as the spatial evaluation method, Creo Simulate calculates the maximum absolute value at a selected point over all the time or frequency steps. Depending on which time span you select from the Dynamic Evaluation option menu, Creo Simulate calculates the maximum 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 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, Creo Simulate calculates the largest magnitude 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 or Von Mises as a measure component.
