Exporting Reaction Results

Depending on the study type, there are one or two ways to export reaction results:

• Copy to Clipboard : This option is available for all study types that output reaction results. Use it to copy the results currently displayed within the REACTIONS dialog. Then, you can paste the text into a document using any text or document editor. The text is tab delimited, with the result description in the first column and the numerical result and units in the second column.

• Export as CSV : This option is only available for transient structural analyses, which produce results for multiple calculation steps. Specifically, for Nonlinear Static Stress and Event Simulation studies, you can export reactions from all output steps to a CSV file.

  You can open the CSV file in Microsoft® Excel® or similar spreadsheet application. The file contains comma-separated values in the following format:

  • Seven columns: Force Sum, Force X, Force Y, Force Z, Moment Sum, Moment X, Moment Y, and Moment Z.
  • One header row with the preceding headings.
  • One row for each requested calculation step output by the solver.
