The Statistics Page

Use the Statistics page to view statistics about a solver, its dependent variables, and their number of degrees of freedom. This can be done before solving the problem and is useful for determining which variables are the most costly to compute and store. To open the Statistics page for a solver, right-click the Compile Equations node () and select Statistics. This page contains the following section:

Number of Degrees of Freedom

Here you see a list of the dependent variables and their number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) as well as the total number of DOFs. The list includes both variables solved for and variables not solved for.

Computing this statistic requires a computation of the size of the assembled finite element model. This can take some time for large models.
