You can visualize intermediate results during a nonlinear solution. By getting visual feedback of the results as the solution progresses, you can make decisions to either stop the simulation and make adjustments to the input, or let the solver proceed with the current settings.
Available for SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium.
To view intermediate result plots while running a nonlinear study, in , select Show intermediate result plots up to the current iteration (while running the nonlinear study).
When the first iteration step completes, the results for the active plot are shown on the graphics area. As the solution progresses to the next iteration step, the active plot gets dynamically updated. If you have not activated a result plot, the first plot under Results is dynamically updated in the graphics area.
To toggle the visibility between plots, under Results right-click the active plot, and click Show or Hide.
For a new Simulation study, first you need to define the default result plots in .
