Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
View controls enable you to control the view and display of your model in the modeling window.
Use the Contour tool to create contour plots of a model and graphically visualize the analysis results.
Learn about creating and managing contour plots.
View new features for HyperLife.
A comprehensive fatigue solutions framework.
Explore the HyperLife user interface.
Turn the display of entities on and off in the modeling window.
Save the current view of your model for future reference, and recall saved views.
Adjust your view of the model in the modeling window.
Change the display of mesh in the modeling window by configuring the mesh display settings.
Change how geometry and mesh entities are visualized in the modeling window by selecting a color mode.
A contour plot generates color bands on the model, based on the values found in the results file.
The Count layers option in the Contour panel and Iso panel allows you to calculate and display how many layers/plies are in each element.
Composites post-processing is enhanced in HyperLife with the reorganization of ply results as layers.
The layer filter reduces the layer list available in the Contour, Iso, Vector, and Tensor panels for the data types that have layers (for example, plies in composite stress/stains or any tensor result with layers).
The Value filter available in the Contour panel allows you to specify threshold criteria for processing results only in a specific range.
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 nodes refers to the nodes in between the corner nodes of the 2nd order elements.
Use the Iso tool to display single iso values (iso surfaced for solids or iso line for shells) dependent on results data.
Use the Vector tool to set options for a vector plot.
Use the Tensor tool to view tensor plots of stress and strain directions and magnitudes for various solvers from elemental values.
Use the Section Cut tool to cut planar or deformable sections through a model.
HyperLife's animation functions allow you to view your model in motion.
