Starting Trend Tracker and Setting the Baseline

You track trends in an existing static study. After successfully running a static study, you set the baseline as a point of comparison for future results.

  1. Right-click the Ready study and select Trend Tracker .
    This enables Trend Tracker and adds the Trend Tracker and Trend Journal icons to the Simulation study tree.
  2. Right-click Trend Tracker and select Set Baseline.
    The following occurs:
    • The von Mises and URES plots briefly appear in the graphics area when the software adds them to a gallery of result images.
    • Graphs appear in the Trend Tracker folder. The Mass graph appears by default. Stress and Displacement appear because the von Mises and URES plots are defined in the Results folder.
