Transient results

Nonlinear simulations, such as Nonlinear static stress and Event simulation, produce results that change incrementally. Multiple sets of each result are output for a user-specified number of steps. Therefore, an extra item appears near the contour plot legend, specifically, a Step selector:

You can click and drag the Step slider to choose any point throughout the simulation event. The results are interpolated between actual solver output steps. You can also type a floating point step number into the provided input field.

To easily step through the actual calculation output steps (integer values), click the up-arrow or down-arrow button to the right of the Step input field:
