PolyFoam Analysis
Run an analysis to minimize defects and prevent manufacturing problems for a foam part design.
- Process Parameters
  Use the Process Parameters icon to define the ending condition of the simulation, define a parting line, and set up the model for tilt pouring, centrifugal foaming, or moving mold parts.
- Run Options
  Choose whether to run jobs in sequence or in parallel.
- Run Analysis
  Define settings and execute an analysis of a foaming part design. Generate results for individual or combined events.
- Show Analysis Results
  Display and review the results of an analysis.
  - Show Options
    Determine what is made visible in the modeling window when viewing analysis results. You can show or hide the initial shape, loads and supports, deformation, and/or contours.
  - Add Callouts to the Results
    Call out and review values for a selected result type at points of interest on your model using the callout icons in the Analysis Explorer.
  - Callout Options
    Add visual callouts to show points of interest on your analysis results.
  - Animate and Record Results
    Use the Animation Toolbar that appears at the bottom of the modeling window to animate and record results.
- Result Types
  A set of result types is available for each of the four analysis stages: injection, foaming, curing and defects.
- 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.
- Run History
  View, sort, open, and delete past runs for the current and previous models.

You can review results from the analyses that are available in the Run History dialog.

On the ribbon, click the Foaming tab.
On the Analysis icon, click Show Analysis Results.
In the Analysis Explorer, select a Run, Stage, and Result Type.
Optional: Select from the various Show options to determine what is visible for the analysis.
Optional: Select from the various Callouts options to show analysis results at a point of interest on your model. The callout values apply to the currently selected run.
Optional: Select from the various Analysis Info options to show specimen data, define a free surface value, or switch between mapped and unmapped results.
Analyze the run.
