Which SOLIDWORKS Simulation tool should you use to determine result values at specific locations in a model?

The Probe tool is specifically designed for extracting and displaying result values at particular points or locations within a simulation model. This tool allows users to click on a specific area of their model to obtain quantitative data, such as stress, displacement, or strain at that exact location. It is especially valuable when you want to analyze results at non-uniform areas or confirm specific values without having to look at the overall graphical results.

Using the Probe tool can streamline the process of conducting a detailed analysis, making it easier to understand how different parts of the model behave under simulation conditions. By focusing on specific points, users can correlate simulation results with design requirements or performance criteria effectively.

The other tools available serve different purposes, such as visualizing internal sections or cutting through the model to understand the internal conditions, but they do not specifically provide result values at a defined point like the Probe tool does. Additionally, the Clipping tool is intended for visual representation of the internal sections, while the Section tool and Surface tool are more about cutting planes and showing surface information, respectively, rather than outputting precise result values.
