Use Derived Values () to define evaluations of numerical results — globally, in a point, or integrated quantities. The values appear in a table in the Table window, where you have different options for the precision and notation of the numerical values (see The Table Window and Tables Node below). For 2D and 3D plots, you can also get numerical results directly in a table by clicking the plot. The same functionality is available for Evaluation Group nodes (), which provide a clearer connection to the results table and more flexible data handling (see About Evaluation Groups below). You can also add evaluation groups and derived values nodes as result templates (see Adding and Creating Result Templates) by right-clicking an Evaluation Group or derived values node and choosing Add as Result Template.

For all derived values, you can also apply an operator on a data series (from a parametric or Time Dependent study) to compute, for example, the temporal average of a quantity in a point of the domain for which a time-dependent solution is computed. In addition to the average, you can also compute the integral, maximum, minimum, RMS (root mean square), standard deviation, or variance of the data series. The derived values nodes use datasets (typically solution datasets) that provide the data from which the derived values are computed. If needed, specify the frame and geometry to use in the dataset’s Settings window.
