.
A report presents a computed summary of the current simulation or CPU data. Each report is represented by a node in the simulation tree, with its own pop-up menu. Report properties, however, vary by report type.
The report summaries are useful for post-processing, and enable engineering quantities such as drag, lift, torque, or mass flow to be computed. They are also useful for computing diagnostic quantities such as minimum cell volume or average wall .
There are three categories of reports:
The first two categories of report require a selection of parts over which the report will be calculated, and they may be available on:
The reports that are made available to a simulation will depend on the models that are enabled, although five (CPU time, elapsed time, maximum, minimum and sum) are available at all times.
