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.
Use the Contour tool to visualize result data by coloring entities by value, allowing for easy identification of maximums
and minimums throughout the model. Contour plots can be created using any scalar data, including components or invariants
of vector or tensor results (for example: vonMises stress, displacement magnitude).
Use the Vector tool to draw arrows such that the direction in which the arrow points is the direction of the vector
and the length of the arrow is its magnitude. Individual vector components, shear, and complete resultants can be
plotted for vector-based results (for example: X, Y, Z, Resultant).
Use the Deformed tool to specify parameters for deformation display. This displays the original structure and the
deformed shape to see the total amount of movement, or view the deformed shape by itself.
Use the Marker tool to visualize result data by adding text on entities by ID and value, allowing for easy reference
of result values on selected entities. Marker plots can be created using any scalar data, including components or
invariants of vector or tensor results (for example: vonMises stress, displacement magnitude).
Use the Legend entity to create, edit and assign custom legends to any contour, vector and tensor or marker plot.
Legends can be numeric, or category based. It can be copied or saved to an external file and imported for re-use.
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.
Import analysis result files to create plots, query results, and so on.
Before you can import results, first open a model or import a solver deck.
Currently, supported solver related extensions are:
OptiStruct (h3d, op2, hdf5, h5)
Nastran (xdb, op2, hdf5, h5)
Abaqus (odb)
ANSYS (rst)
For all other solver profiles, the Post ribbon points to panels for Contour, Vector,
Deformed, and Transient workflows, which rely on *.res file
availability.
To import a results file, do one of the following:
Go to File > Import > Results.
From the Post ribbon, Results tool group, click the
Import tool.
Then, select a file type:
Solver Result Files (Common)
Import native solver output files directly into HyperMesh to use the latest post-processing
tools.
Batch Import
Load combination files (*.csv) can be used to
import files/resources and their relevant subcase and simulation steps
to generate result entities.
You can also create derived load cases in the form of linear combination
(superposition) and/or envelopes.
Standard Import
Use a reference to a file path and specify the subcase and
simulation (step) ID in the proper columns, as shown in the
example below.
Each subcase/simulation combination becomes an item/row in
the CSV file.
Reference to the CSV file is shown as the dataname in the
newly created result entity.
Linear Combination
Linear combination (linear superposition) can be defined in
CSV, as shown in the example below.
The following items are important to be understood for a
correct set up of such definition:
Add a so-called virtual resource which the newly
created load steps will belong to
Subcase and simulation step ID (which will be used
in the application)
Derived load case type (linearcombination for this
case)
Coefficients to be used for the linear
superposition
Flag “D” to identify that specific item to be
derived
Envelope
The envelope definition follows basically the same rules of
configuration as the linear superposition, apart from the
need to set the data settings to be used as metric for the
evaluation of the envelope.
HyperMesh Result Files
HyperMesh result files
(.res) can be imported for post-processing
using panel functionality.
