Results > Review contains several information files produced during or at the end of the simulation. These files contain simulation information or results for specific simulation types.
The Status file contains information useful for trouble shooting, if a problem occurs. For every iteration, convergence data from each degree of freedom are reported as numerical residuals. These are useful for tracking convergence progress, and complement the data displayed in the Convergence Plot.
To export the status information to a separate text file, click Save.
The Summary file contains the following information:
The Summary file is a valuable resource for results data, and provides performance insight for the simulated device or system.

The Setup file is a summary of all applied conditions such as boundary conditions, materials, and solver options. It is automatically saved at the conclusion of every simulation. The Setup file is a convenient, text-based record of the settings that define a simulation model.
Click the slide-out arrow on the panel title bar to access the following controls:
Every time a simulation is stopped, summary information is written to the Summary File. This information is also appended to the Summary History file to provide a history of each continuation of the simulation. Use this to understand the progression from one set of iterations to the next.
The Component Thermal Summary file contains the mean, maximum, and minimum temperatures for each solid part in the model. It is automatically saved at the conclusion of every analysis. This data is provided for each time step in a transient analysis as well.
This file also contains temperature and heat flux data for Compact Thermal models and Thermoelectric components.
The Rotating Region Results file contains the time history of Rotating Region simulations. This file lists the hydraulic torque, rotating speed, and hydraulic force components for each rotating object.

The Motion Results file contains the time history of Motion simulations. This file lists the linear and angular velocities, the linear and angular displacements, the force, and the torque for each time step. Each moving part is listed on a separate tab. This information is useful for understanding the dynamic performance of the moving parts in the system.
