Viewing the Trend Journal

First, you change the width of the flange from the FeatureManager design tree. Then, you view the Trend Journal to see the changes in the result quantities.

  1. On the FeatureManager design tree, expand the Boss-Extrude3 feature and double click Sketch4.
  2. In the graphics window, double click the dimension D1@Sketch4, which is of length 8.
  3. In the Modify dialog box, type 10mm.
  4. Click and click PM_OK.gif.
    The program regenerates the model with the current value for model dimension.
  5. In the Dimension PropertyManager, click PM_OK.gif. Exit the sketch.
  6. In the Simulation study tree, right-click the Ready study and select Run .
  7. Repeat steps 1-6 twice but change the model dimension to 12mm and 14mm respectively.
  8. Right-click Trend Journal and select Open.
    Notice the quantities and values of the tracked data for the baseline and subsequent iterations.
  9. Scroll to the bottom of the journal to view the information about Iteration 4.
    The total weight has risen to approximately 102% of the baseline value. The von Mises stress, URES displacement, and P1 1st principal stress have dropped to approximately 78%, 85%, and 81%, respectively.
  10. Close the document.
