During an analysis, data are generated in various forms, from plots that you can animate, to text in the form of the results summary. This section describes the different formats.
Topics in this section
Results Summary
A result summary showing the analysis inputs and the results of each phase of the analysis or analysis sequence is generated for each analysis that is performed.
Study log
A study log is generated every time an analysis is performed, consisting of several logs describing different aspects of the analysis. The study log reports on any inputs used, any warnings or errors encountered, and provides a summary of results generated at the end of the filling and packing phases.
Results files Moldflow Results files contain a selection of results and analysis logs from one or more studies, and may also contain a Moldflow Criteria file.
Criteria files
A Moldflow Criteria file (*.criteria) contains a set of criteria that describe optimum values or ranges for input values and results.
Valid comparisons
Comparing several different studies of the same part, each with slightly different settings, will help you optimize the design and manufacturing process.
Mesh statistics
Use the Mesh Statistics summary to check surface mesh quality. To investigate a 3D mesh use the Mesh Repair Wizard.
