Results Slider

To | Do this |
---|---|
Change the upper or lower bound for the results slider | Click the bound and enter a new value. Click the ![]() |
Filter the results so that areas on the model with results greater than a specified value are masked | Click and drag the arrow on the results slider. To mask areas
with results less than the specified value, click ![]() |
Change the legend color for the result type | Click the ![]() |
Enable the legend's maximum and minimum values to change for each animation step | Click the ![]() |
Reverse the default meaning of results slider colors Note: By default, red indicates high, green
indicates medium, and blue indicates low. |
Click the ![]() |
Show/Hide Elements



Callout Options
Add visual callouts to show points of interest on your analysis results.
Option | Description | Note |
---|---|---|
Create, Show, and Hide Callouts![]() |
Select to create callouts; select to show and hide callouts. |
Note: When transparency is enabled, callouts are
unsupported.
|
List Callouts![]() |
Display in a table all of the callouts that have been created, with the result types and values. Each callout is specific to the selected run and load case. |
|
Min/Max Callouts![]() |
Create a callout showing where the minimum/maximum value occurs for the selected result type. |
|
Dynamic Callouts![]() |
Display the results of various result types in existing callouts. | After creating a callout for a particular result type, click the
![]() |
Style Options
Visualize the results as static streamlines, animated streamlines, or vectors. You can also make edits to the streamlines or vectors.
Option | Description | Microdialog Options |
---|---|---|
Static Streamlines![]() |
Visualize the results as static streamlines.![]() |
To access the microdialog options for streamlines, select the
Static Streamline icon![]()
|
Animated Streamlines![]() |
Only available if Streamlines is turned
on. Click the icon once to visualize the results as animated streamlines. Click the icon again to jump to the end of the animation. ![]() |
|
Vectors![]() |
Visualize the results as vectors.![]() |
To access the microdialog options for vectors, select the
Vectors icon ![]() Use the microdialog options to edit the vectors:
|
Integration Sections![]() |
Visualize average velocity/flow rate through a section of the fluid
domain. ![]() |
To access the microdialog options for Integration Sections, select
the Integration Sections icon ![]() Use the microdialog options to create and edit sections. ![]() Use the move tool to translate, rotate, and resize sections. |
Enable Transparency
![]() |
Render the model transparent to a greater or lesser degree. This is useful when observing the interior of a model in full three-dimensional view without using section cuts. | Use the sliders in the microdialog to change the transparency of the minimum and maximum areas the current result type. |
Create Field
Create an implicit field from the results of an analysis run. The Create Field button is located at the bottom of the Analysis Explorer.
-
Click the Show Analysis Results
tool on the Analyze icon to open the Analysis Explorer.
Note: Only OptiStruct results are supported in direct implicit field creation. For SimSolid results, see Video Tutorial: Field-Driven Design in Inspire Implicit Modeling.Tip: To find and open a tool, press Ctrl+F. For more information, see Find and Search for Tools.
- Use the Analysis Explorer dialog to select the results to convert to an implicit field.
-
Click the Create Field button located at the bottom of
the Analysis Explorer.
For more information, see Create Implicit Fields from Analysis Results. -
If an implicit part exists, a dialog will ask whether to create a new implicit
part or add the field to an existing implicit part.
- Click New to create a new implicit part in the Model Browser and Construction History. The new part will only contain the new field(s) using simulation data.
- Click Existing to select an implicit part in the model. The new fields are created at the current point in the history timeline.
