Monitoring the results of a nonlinear simulation as the model is solving can come in very handy in identifying potential issues with the setup and resolving them before it finishes to solve, especially when the model takes a long time to run. The potential issues can be rigid body motion, no contact detection etc. In this video, we will focus our attention on reviewing intermediate results using result trackers such as deformation trackers and contact trackers.
