Graphical postprocessing is important because of the great volume
of data created during a simulation.
The Visualization module of
Abaqus/CAE
(also licensed separately as
Abaqus/Viewer)
allows you to view the results graphically using a variety of methods,
including deformed shape plots, contour plots, vector plots, animations, and
X–Y plots. In addition, it allows you to create
tabular reports of the output data. All of these methods are discussed in this
guide. For more information on any of the postprocessing features discussed in
this guide, consult
Viewing results.
