Postprocessing means reviewing the results of an analysis. It is arguably the most important step in the analysis, because you are trying to understand how the applied loads affect your design.
After building the model and obtaining the solution, you want answers to some critical questions:
Will the design really work when put to use?
How high are the stresses in this region?
How does the temperature of this part vary with time?
What is the heat loss across this face of my model?
How does the magnetic flux flow through this device?
How does the placement of this object affect fluid flow?
The postprocessors can help you to answer such questions and others.
The following postprocessing topics are available:
