The Result Browser enables you to visualize results for model files containing simulation data for results, load cases
and result types. You can customize legends for color and precision, show and hide contours and add callouts to the
model for effective analysis and visualization.
Use the Hotspot Finder tool to find critical regions of your model based on a plotted result, filter the entities
based on selection set, threshold values, minimum separation, and load cases.
Extract plot data such as table of contents, result types, subcases, and components using the result files which has
plot data. View or compare result types in a single or multi-plot layouts.
Build specific search for a file type, combine multiple search values by selecting correct operators (=, Like, or
Is) and values (file name, file extension, metadata).
The Result Browser enables you to visualize results for model files containing simulation data for results, load cases
and result types. You can customize legends for color and precision, show and hide contours and add callouts to the

Visualize Simulation Results Using the Result Browser
The Result Browser enables you to visualize results for model files containing
simulation data for results, load cases and result types. You can customize legends for
color and precision, show and hide contours and add callouts to the model for effective
analysis and visualization.
Open a model file and expand the 3D viewer.
Click Result Browser ().
Simulation data results of the 3D model are displayed. Figure 1. Result Browser
To analyze the model, select the Run you want to
view.
Select a Loadcase.
Select a Result Type.
The value ranges for the contour bands and their colors are displayed
along with the Minimum and Maximum
values.
Note: If the result type has no values, it is
displayed in the given No Result color
shade.
Select a corresponding Component.
Visualize the advanced settings for the selected result type.
Click beside the Component field. The Advanced
Settings dialog box is displayed.Figure 2. Advanced Settings
Modify the legend settings to analyze the model.
Click beside the contour colours.
The Legend Settings dialog box is displayed. Figure 3. Legend Settings
Reverse Color Scale reverses the legend
values assigned to the contour bands.
Number of Colors displays more or less
contours bands along with their respective ranges. The minimum
number of bands you can display in a legend is 4; the maximum is
32.
Set Precision for the result values. You can
increment the current value from 1 to 8 decimal points.
Minimum/Maximum legend
values. You can modify the minimum and maximum legend values to
analyze the model details for the selected result type.
Apply Min/Max Across Load Cases to apply the
min/max values for the current result type to all load cases.
Remove Min/Max Across Load Cases to remove
min/max values for the current result type to all load cases.
Restore Defaults The changes made in the
legend settings are retained for the rest of the session and the
button changes to blue . Restores defaults will reset the
legend settings to the default values for the selected result type
and the button changes to black .
Click to show or hide the initial shape as a
reference.
Click to
show or hide contour shapes for the selected result.
Click
then click a point on model to create a visual callout.
The callout shows the contour value.
Note: Click
again to show or hide the callouts you created.
Click to view all the callouts with the result type,
contour value and part name in a table format.
Click to show or hide the minimum and maximum datapoint
values for the selected result type.
The callouts, callouts table and the minimum and maximum datapoint
values are displayed in the image.Figure 4. Callouts
