          • Query Results
        • Color Band Generation

          A contour plot generates color bands on the model, based on the values found in the results file.

        • Additional Comments
        • Layers

          Layers allow you to display a contour for a specified element layer when a layer definition is available for an element.

        • Value Filter

          The Value filter available in the Contour panel allows you to specify threshold criteria for processing results only in a specific range.

        • Composites Post-processing

          Composites post-processing is enhanced in HyperLife with the reorganization of ply results as layers.

        • Cache Results

          After a contour plot has been applied in the Contour panel, the Cache feature will become active and allow you to add the currently active contour result to an internal cache.

        • Mid-side Node Elemental Results in Contour

          Mid-side nodes refers to the nodes in between the corner nodes of the 2nd order elements.

        • Post-process Abaqus Stress Results
      • Iso

        Use the Iso tool to display single iso values (iso surfaced for solids or iso line for shells) dependent on results data.

      • Vector

        Use the Vector tool to set options for a vector plot.

      • Tensor

        Use the Tensor tool to view tensor plots of stress and strain directions and magnitudes for various solvers from elemental values.

      • Edit Legend

        The Edit Legend dialog allows you to change the legend properties.

      • Graphical Editing of the Legend and Iso-slider

        You can edit the contour, vector, or tensor plot legend in the graphics area.

      • Complex Results

        Results in some analysis types come as complex numbers.

      • Computed Results

        A listing of results that are computed in HyperLife.

      • Nodal Averaging of Elemental Results

        Nodal averaging of elemental results at a node refers to the average of all the element corner results passing through that node.

      • Averaging Options

        The averaging options allow you to limit the averaging of results to only a group of elements that are considered to be bound by same feature angle or face.

    • Annotate Model Results

      Annotate model results using Notes and Measures.

    • Expression Builder

      The Expression Builder is a graphical user interface which allows user-defined data type expressions to be authored directly within HyperLife.
