Process Results

Although CHARGE has its own animation visualization feature this can be done externally as well. The 2 selections under the Start Start Simulation Image 20 button named Process Surface Charging Results and Process Internal Charging Results is used to create .vtu files to be used by an external visualization software if wanted.

Process Surface Charging Results

In the Analysis section of the CHARGE ribbon, select the down arrow of the Start button and select Process Surface Charging Results.
This will open up a browsing window where you can navigate to the numbered simulation folder that was created when the simulation was started or the simulation files were exported. In this folder you will see a 'ema3dSURF_results.dat' file. Double click this to process it.
This will create a folder named 'Surface_Results' in the simulation folder, and within it are a series of .vtu files that correspond to each time step of the simulation that can be loaded into a visualization software. There is also a .pvd file that is a conglomerate file that can also be loaded in a visualization software of your choice.

Process Internal Charging Results

In the Analysis section of the CHARGE ribbon, select the down arrow of the Start button and select Process Internal Charging Results.
This will open up a browsing window where you can navigate to the numbered simulation folder that was created when the simulation was started or the simulation files were exported. In this folder you will see a 'femCHARGE_results.dat' file. Double click this to process it.
This will create a folder named 'Internal_Results' in the simulation folder, and within it are a series of .vtu files that correspond to each time step of the simulation that can be loaded into a visualization software. There is also a .pvd file that is a conglomerate file that can also be loaded in a visualization software of your choice.
