Result Options
Drop test studies generate large amount of information due to the small
time increments that the solver internally uses to calculate the response.
To save on disk storage, the program does NOT save all results it computes.
Instead, it gives you options
to specify the number of equally spaced instants at which results are
saved for all nodes as well as refined graphs at selected vertices and
reference points. You can also specify the instant at which the program
starts saving results.
The recommended approach is to start saving results from the moment
of impact (t = 0) for the first run. If the generated graphs and plots
indicate that no interesting events, like high stresses, took place until
time t, you can rerun the study to get more refined results at the window
of interest. The Time to start saving
results and the Solution time
after impact parameters define the period for which the program
saves the results. The Number of plots
and the Number of graph steps per plot
determine the resolution of data saving.
