Copy Tabular Simulation Results to the Clipboard in SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2021

SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2021 has added another option to export data from your study results. Besides generating a report, you can copy tabular data from several sources to the clipboard, and then paste this data into another document, such as a spreadsheet.

This data can be pulled from any tabular source in a PropertyManager, including reaction forces, free body forces, contact/friction forces and connector forces. In the study below, the connector forces have been listed for the four bolted connections (right-click Results Folder > List Connector Force).

Under Report Options, there is a button (highlighted by the red arrow above) to Copy to Clipboard. After clicking this button, the data is saved to the clipboard. It can then be pasted into a new document (see the raw data entered into a spreadsheet below).
