9. Spike Forging Simulation & Post-Processing
9.1. Opening a Previously Saved Problem
If DEFORM is not already open, open it as you did in the previous lab. When the MAIN
window opens, click on the Spike folder in the Directory list and then highlight the
SPIKE.DB file in the file list.
9.2. Starting the Simulation
You are now ready to start the simulation by either clicking the  button at the top of
the screen or by clicking  in the  list.
The progress of the simulation can be monitored as it is running by looking at the Message
file. Click the Message tab to view the Message file. As long as the  option
is checked, which is the default setting, the Message file will refresh every couple of
seconds.
The Message file provides information about which simulation step is currently running
and also gives information dealing with how well the simulation is running.
When the simulation has finished, the following message will be added to the end of the
Message file:
