HyperGraph Interface with OptiStruct
This section explains how HyperGraph interfaces with the OptiStruct solver.
For information on hgopt, refer to External Readers.
- OptiStruct OPTI(ASCII) format.
- Time history plots from *.h5 files generated from OptiStruct explicit analysis.
The figure below compares the old and new OPTI formats using ELFORCE (.force) as an example, which has improved readability.
