Defining Settings for Output Variables for Transient Solutions

Any output quantity or expression within either the Transient Report or Field Report type can be defined as an output variable in the Output Variables dialog box, accessed via Results in the Project Manager tree.

To add an output variable to output with time:

• Click Add to select the output variables to be added to the list for output with time.
  The newly defined variable is added to the list.

To delete an output variable:

• Select the variable from the list, and click Delete.

Do one of the following in the Evaluation Timestep section on the Output Variables tab of the Solve Setup window:

• Select Using Constant, type a value, and select the units. Select this option if you want to use a constant value for when you calculate output variable values.
• Select Evaluate every Nth timestep, and type a value. Select this option if you want to evaluate the output variable after a certain number of solution timesteps, that is, instead of calculating the output variable every fixed time interval, you want to calculate it every certain number of timesteps. For example, if you want to evaluate the output variable every third timestep, type 3 in this text box.
