Trend Tracker Overview
Trend Tracker helps you detect trends in results from different iterations
of a static study. Results are presented in a manner that compares a baseline
to subsequent iterations.
Highlights include:
Typical workflow:
Run a static study.
Right-click the study and select Trend
Tracker to enable this functionality.
Right-click Trend
Tracker and select Set
Baseline.
The current results become the baseline (iteration
1) for weight, displacement, stress, and so on.
Change the geometry, loads, restraints, or any
other features.
Right-click Trend
Tracker and select Add
Tracked Data Graph to add a new workflow sensitive simulation data
sensor to
track results.
Run the static study.
The software appends the new results to the
tracked iterations as a new iteration by default.
Review the results:
Right-click Trend
Tracker and select View
Gallery to see the change in displacement and stress.
Double-click one of the graphs such as Mass to compare iterations
to the baseline.
Double-click the Trend
Journal to read a report.
You can disable and delete the Trend Tracker
information. Right-click the study name and select Delete
Trend Tracker to delete Trend
Tracker from the Simulation study tree.
