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.
Available in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional and SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium.
Highlights include:
- A Trend Journal lists details about the baseline and every iteration.
- Graphs show the trend in important result quantities. View one of the default graphs or add a tracked data graph.
- A gallery shows displacement and stress plots for every iteration.
- A rollback function allows you to restore the model to a specific iteration.
- Adding iterations automatically or manually when you run studies or design scenarios.
- iterations
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
