Datasets refer to the source of data for creating Plots and
Reports. It can be a
Solution, a
Mesh, or some transformation or cut plane applied to other datasets — that is, you can create new datasets from other datasets. You add datasets to the
Datasets branch (

) under
Results.
In the Model Builder under
Results (

), right-click
Datasets (

) and select an option from the context menu. Continue defining each dataset as described. See
Table 21-7 for links to all the types of datasets.
For most datasets, you can right-click the dataset node and choose Add Data to Export. A
Data node is then added under
Results>Export, where you can define the content and format for the data output and export it to a file.
For datasets that also include a mesh, such as Solution and Mesh datasets, you can also right-click the dataset and choose Add Mesh to Export. A
Mesh (Export) node is then added under
Results>Export, where you can define the content and format for the mesh data output and export it to a file.
