18.9.2. Thermal Result Trackers

A Thermal Analysis supports the Temperature Result Tracker only. The Temperature can be applied to one vertex only using the geometry selection tools or using a geometry-based Named Selection or for a single node, node-based Named Selection.


Note:  Direct graphical node selection requires you to generate the mesh.


The Details view properties and options for the Temperature Result Tracker are described below.

  • Scope:

    • Scoping Method: Specifies the option Geometry Selection, Named Selection, Remote Point, Global Minimum, or Global Maximum for a solution point.

    • Geometry: Visible when Geometry Selection is specified as the Scoping Method. This property enables you to select and define a single vertex as the geometry or a single node.

    • Named Selection: Visible when Named Selection is specified as the Scoping Method. This property provides a drop-down menu of user-defined Named Selections that are either geometry-based or node-based.

    • Remote Point

    • Remote Point: Visible when Remote Point is specified as the Scoping Method. This property provides a drop-down menu of user-defined Remote Points.

    • Global Minimum

    • Global Maximum

  • Definition

    • Type: Read-only field that displays the type of Results Tracker.

    • Suppressed: Prior to solving, you can include or exclude the result from the analysis. The default is value is No.

  • Results

    • Minimum: Read-only indication of the minimum value of the result tracker type.

    • Maximum: Read-only indication of the maximum value of the result tracker type.
