Introduction

The following possibilities exist for postprocessing of results:

  • inside SimLab
    • Contour / Arrows / Isoline
    • XY Plot
    • Iso Surface
    • Plot
    • Node Path

Contour / Arrows / Isoline

Note: The results are averaged to corner nodes by default.





At the end of the solving, the contour results are displayed automatically. The contour or arrows and isoline options are visible on the graphical window top-left part.



  • The Simulation allows selecting the current Frequency step.


  • The possible Components for an AC Supplied Conductors solution are the current density J, the electrical potential V, and the Joule losses HEATLOSS_JOULE.
  • The Plot allows to choose between contour or arrows:
    • to display the color shade, choose Contour
    • to display the arrows, choose Vector
    • to display the isolines, choose Iso Line

Animation can be performed for multi-frequency results using the bottom animation toolbar:



XY Plot

Results > XY Plot

The XY Plot allows the user to do point computations.

Note: For more details consult XY Plot.
Note: If you select a point on the boundaries between several bodies with different physics (2 or more), the body where the computation will be done has to be chosen:

Iso Surface

Results > Iso Surface

The Iso Surface menu allows you to display for example the locations where B is greater or lower than a certain value, it allows to display the hot or cold spots.

Note: For more details consult Iso Surface.

2D Plot

Results > Plot

The 2D Plot allows to post process the default global quantities and the chosen ones in the Result Request dialog box by the user.

For the SCAC solution, the quantities that can be post-processed are grouped by category:
  • Body quantity (Joule losses)
  • Circuit (current, voltage of electrical components)


Examples of 2D Plots:
  • In the Body quantity category


  • In the Circuit category

    • RMS values

    • Max values

The created 2D Plot are saved in the Solution Browser in Plots.

To access this tool, after solving your project, right-click on the Results node or directly access from the ribbon bar.



Node Path

Results > Node Path

Node Path allows to create the user defined paths and visualize the contour and vectors on the defined paths.

For more details about the node path, refer Node Path.
