Run a Porosity Analysis
Use to run a quick porosity analysis when designing metal parts that are casted. Then interactively view the results using the Analysis Explorer.
- The element size determines the accuracy of the mesh. A smaller element size (which produces a greater number of elements) increases accuracy, but lengthens the calculation time. A larger element size (fewer elements) decreases accuracy, but shortens the calculation time.
- Material properties are assigned using the Materials tool on the Structure ribbon or the part context menu.
Run Status
View the status of the current run, as well runs for the current model that have not yet been viewed. To see all past runs, you need to view the run history.
- To open the directory where a run is stored, right-click the run name and select Open Run Folder.
- To view deleted or previously viewed runs, click the History button.
- To delete a run, select the run and press Delete. You can also delete runs using the right-click context menu in the Analysis Explorer and the Model Browser.
Run History
View, sort, open, and delete past runs for the current and previous models.
- To open the directory where a run is stored, right-click the run name and select Open Run Folder. The default directory where the run history is stored can be changed in the Preferences under Run Options.
- By default, you will receive a notification when the run history exceeds a certain size. You can change the size limit or turn off the notification in the Preferences under Run Options.
- To delete a run, select the run and press Delete.
