Viewing Basic Results
Each time you run a simulation study a set of results for some basic quantities are calculated and can be viewed as soon as the run completes. The following basic results are generated for every simulation study that runs.
Simulation Study
Basic Results
Structural simulation study
Von Mises Stress
Displacement Magnitude
Displacement X
Displacement Y
Displacement Z
Modal simulation study
There are no basic results for modal studies. However an advanced result for displacement magnitude is automatically created when a modal study run completes.
Steady state thermal study
Temperature
* 
No basic results are available for models that have beam or shell idealizations defined. However, for model with shells and beams advanced results for displacement magnitude and Von Mises stress are created automatically.
Viewing Basic Results
When a study run completes, basic results are available and can be viewed in the graphics windows using one of the following methods:.
Click Ansys Simulation > View Results and select the basic result that you want to view.
From the Simulation Tree, select Results > Basic. Right-click the available results and click to activate the result.
The results are shown on the model in the Graphics Window.
Basic Results Mini Toolbar
Basic results are displayed along with a mini toolbar that contains the following commands:.
—Indicates that the results are basic results. Also used as a handle to drag and reposition the mini toolbar anywhere in the Graphics Window.
—Toggles the display of isosurfaces for the result. Isosurfaces are created by forming a surface that passes through all the points in the model that have the same value for a result.
—Creates a simulation query that allows you to view the results at a point.
—Stops displaying the results.
