Post Processing

What Does Post Processing Do?

The Post Processing module in MeshWorks is built to deliver fast, accurate, and visually rich evaluations of simulation results across disciplines. With advanced scripting automation and intelligent visualization tools, it enables users to extract key metrics—such as peak stresses and modal responses—across multiple designs or load cases. A multi-page, multi-viewport interface supports side-by-side comparisons, while built-in scorecards and database-linked session tracking ensure traceable insights aligned with design improvements.
