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.
Use the FLD tool a plot a Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) based on a material Forming Limit Curve (FLC) and the major and
minor strain output results of a forming simulation.
Query entities, create or edit free body diagrams, construct multiple curves and plots from a single result file, and
create and plot stress linearization.
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.
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.
Use the Sets tool to create, import, and export sets/groups of
components (parts), elements, and nodes.
From the Create tools, select Create > Sets.
Tip: You can also right-click anywhere within the Results Browser and select Create > Set from the context menu.
The sets defined for the current model are listed in the Sets panel. Check boxes allow you
to select which sets will currently be displayed in the modeling window. The set type is also shown in this listing. You can also
sort the items in the Sets list by clicking on one of the list headings. In addition,
keyboard shortcuts and a context menu are available for items within the list.
Note: Some
file formats include sets/groups defined by the user or the solver software. These groups
will be available in the Sets list after importing the model data.
You can also import HyperView set
definition files, Animator3 session files, LSPost set files, Patran session files, or Nastran/OptiStruct set files into HyperView, as well as export HyperView
set definition files, Patran session files, Nastran set files, or
OptiStruct set files.
HyperView
group definition files can be edited. In addition, the contents of a saved set file can be
added, removed, or modified using the session file.
