19.2.2.1. Probe Object Usage

To apply a probe object to your model:

  1. Select the Solution object.

  2. Do one of the following to add a probe:

    • Select the desired probe type from the Probe drop-down menu on the Solution tab.

    • Right-click anywhere in the geometry window, select Insert Probe, and then select a desired probe from the menu.

  3. Scope the probe and specify its properties.

Once evaluated, and based on the type of probe, the application displays results in the Details pane for a given time, frequency, etc. and the Tabular Data window displays overall result values for the analysis. For many probe types, the application also draws a displaced mesh in the geometry window. Refer to the various probe subsections for additional information.


Note:  You cannot turn off the time history for result probes.
