Forming provides some additional tools during postprocessing analysis.
Choose from the Additional Tools 
drop-down menu to display the Summary Task Panel and view a text report of simulation
details and statistics about the simulation process.
Included in the summary are:
General metadata about the simulation, such as the name of the project, the start time of the run, the total elapsed time of the run, and the number of CPUs utilized to run the simulation.
The material assigned to the project blank.
The solvers utilized to run the simulation.
Statistics about the operations in the simulation, such as the number of operations, and the steps of each operation.
Statistics about the mesh elements of the model, such as the initial number of elements in the blank, the initial element size, the maximum adaptivity level, and the element radius control number.
Detailed statistics for each operation and substep, such as the calculation time, the initial number of elements in the mesh, the final number of elements in the mesh, the tools used in the operation, their movement, and the forces each applied to the blank.
You can highlight text in the summary using the mouse pointer, just as in most text editors. Right-click in the task panel to display a context menu of Summary-specific commands such as and , and display options such as right-to-left reading order and commands to display and insert Unicode characters.
When you are finished with the Summary, click .
After running the simulation, you may wish to export the final formed sheet (or an intermediate state) to a mesh file. To export any state:
If you are using an analysis tool, click the button to return to Viewing Basic Deformation Results.
Click a state in the list of States to view it in the Graphics Window.
Click in the ribbon to open a Save file dialog box.
Change the save location and file name if desired. The default location is the project _runtime directory, and the default file name is the same as the project name.
Choose a file type for the export. Available file types are:
LS-Dyna Dynain File (*.dynain)
IGES Data File (*.igs)
Blank Shape (*.stl)
Click .
The mesh file is exported.
The Section Cut tool enables you to create and manipulate cut lines through the project geometry that help you view simulation data along particular cross-sections of the tooling and blank.
Access the Create Section Task Panel by choosing Section Cut from the ribbon. This task panel will enable you to define a cut line through the project geometry by drawing it in the graphics window.
Access the Section Cut Task Panel by clicking the triangle below Section Cut in the ribbon, and choosing . This task panel enables you to manipulate Section Operations that you have defined.
