Jon,
As I remember, 'full results' is greyed out in the Analysis Def'n form in WF4&5 for any step except the final step. And there's nowhere in the post processor to select fringes from an intermediate load step.
... and now I have just confused myself by animating a contact pressure plot with 20 frames where there was only loadsteps 0 and 1. The pressure are not linear and yet it animates.
I thought for contact, it only animated the loadsteps that had been defined, (usually 2 frames, zero and 1). This was because results animation linearly divides the quantity to be displayed by the number of frames (my understanding).
It is possible to graph measure against loadstep. Would it be meaningful to check the measure value at the desired loadstep and then create an animation and estimate the appropriate frame in the animated window?
I must've missed something too.
I do have a vague memory regarding getting different results if using a single versus smaller load increments if the contacting surfaces move. I am not sure what the state of play of this is.
Time steps in Creo would permit viewing results at a particular load.
Ho ho ho
