Browsers provide a structured view of model data, which you can use to review, modify, create, and manage
the contents of a model. In addition to visualization, browsers offer features like search, filtering, and sorting,
which enhance your ability to navigate and interact with the model data.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing
parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Use PhysicsAI to build fast predictive models from CAE data. PhysicsAI can be trained on data with any physics or
remeshing and without design variables.
Open animation files, measure various distances and angles between entities, and use the Results Browser to view the model structure and find, display, and edit entities.
Create and edit user-defined data type expressions, derived load cases, and systems. You can also plot a forming limit
diagram, generate streamlines, track entities during animation, and create and import/export sets of entities.
Query entities, create or edit free body diagrams, construct multiple curves and plots from a single result file, and
create and plot stress linearization.
The Free Body Diagram (FBD) tool facilitates the extraction and post-processing of Grid Point Force (GPFORCE) results
and can be used create and edit Free Body Diagrams (FBD).
In version 2021, the Stress Linearization tool was renamed as Extract-Linearize and now supports both the Extract Data
and Stress Linearization methods. Starting in version 2022.2, Strain Linearization will also be supported.
Use the Hotspot Finder tool to find critical regions of your model based on a plotted result, filter the entities based
on selection set, threshold values, minimum separation, and load cases. In addition, you can plot the search results with
annotations and selective amount of details displayed on screen.
Explore, organize and manage your personal data, collaborate in teams, and connect to other data sources, such as
corporate PLM systems to access CAD data or publish simulation data.

Review the hotspot search results in a tabular form by clicking the table icon
.
A table containing a hotspots list is displayed in the modeling area. Figure 1.
Optional: Undock the table from the guide bar to drag and move it around the screen, by
clicking the icon on top right corner of the table.
Show or hide the hotspots from the modeling window using the row
highlighter.
Figure 2.
To show additional data in the hotspot review table, right-click on the column
header in the table and select the required data about the hotspot.
Note: In the HyperView -
MultiCore profile, you can run a hotspot search based on one result (for
example, stress) and display additional results (for example, strain) at the
hotspot locations. To do this, make sure you have cached all the desired
results upfront.
Figure 3.
You can also hide the unwanted components from showing up in the hotspot tour,
by clicking the icon on the guide bar to open the Show hide
tool.
After selecting the components or elements to hide from screen, right-click
twice to get back to the Hotspot Finder guide bar and hit the Play button.
Note: The entities hidden using this option will stay hidden as long as you
are in the hotspot tour.
Change the hotspots viewing mode using the drop-down menu on the guide
bar.
Figure 4.
The Global view category consists of view modes that will show the
hotspots in the perspective of the entire (global) model. All hotspots from the
current query will be shown and depending on the choice of mode, selected or
entire details around the hotspots will be shown. The masked portions will be
shown using transparency to provide a global perspective.
Navigate through the hotspots using the First,
Previous, Next, or
Last buttons located on the guide bar .
