Animate Results
You can create animations based on the information you have included in the results file. Because this
information is created as a separat e file, it is not saved within the results file. You must save the individual
animations using the Results Viewer's Main Menu, Save Animation function.
List Results
The list results button creates a text listing of all of the nodal results values for the selected sequence
number and result item.. You can print this data directly, or save it to a file for use in other applications.
Image Capture
You can plot the contents of the graphics window directly to a post script enabled printer, capture the
contents to another window that is created automatically, or port the contents to an exportable graphics
file in one of the popular formats (such as EPS, PNG, BMP, and WMF).
For Windows (PC) use, you must have a postscript-enabled printer installed in order to obtain these
export formats. If a postscript printer is not installed, file export is not available.
Report Generator
This function opens the Report Generator. Use the report generat or to capture your screen contents,
animations, and result listings, and save them to a report assembly tool. This tool allows you to organize
the data and add text in order to assemble a complete report. For more information, see The Report
Generator (p. 303).
