Easy Comparison of Simulation Results

You can now keep your simulation results, allowing you to easily compare the results of subsequent simulations.

After you run a simulation, you can choose to keep (but not save) its results. Then, when you run a subsequent simulation (with changes to either the product or the simulation), you can review the previous results plots alongside the current results plots. You can also use the Feature Manager to display plot and sensor information associated with the results in the current view.

After you keep a simulation's results, you can choose to rename the set of results, delete them, or add a descriptive comment to them. If you add a comment, you can later search for the comment to find the associated results.

The app does not save the results nor any scenario information associated with the results.

Benefits: The ability to keep the previous simulation's results allows you to more easily compare your results. Comparing your results allows you to better understand the impact of recent product or simulation changes.

Initial Temperature

You can now specify the temperature of your model's parts, vertices, and edges at the start of a simulation.

Some material properties are temperature-dependent. When you assign a material with these types of properties to a part, it is important that you also specify the initial temperature of the part. The app uses the initial temperature to determine the initial values of the temperature-dependent material properties.

The default initial temperature applied to the whole model is 295 Kelvin. Any initial temperatures that you specify override the default initial temperature.

The new Initial Temperature option is provided in the Initial Conditions section of the action bar, as shown below.

Benefits: The ability to specify initial temperatures for your parts lets you define simulations that consider the real-life behavior of your materials.
