Question QU-008:

I can use the Next Solution , Previous Solution , First Solution and Last Solution icons to display the results for the time step of my choice. But is there an easier and faster way to do it, if I have many time steps in my model and I want to look at the results for some intermediate solution time?

Answer:

Use the Definitions > Response dialog box to change the default solution time:



  1. Choose Definitions > Response to display the Define Response Depiction dialog box.
     
  2. Make sure that the Response Name is DEFAULT and that the Type is Load Step.
     
  3. Enter the desired solution time in the Solution Time box, and click OK. Now, by default, results are calculated for this solution time.
     
  4. For example, click the Mesh Plot icon. The mesh is displayed at the desired solution time.
