Results
Explore the various result plotting tools.
- Contour
  Use the Contour tool to create contour plots of a model and graphically visualize the analysis results.
  - Create and Manage Contour Plots
    Learn about creating and managing contour plots.
  - Color Band Generation
    A contour plot generates color bands on the model, based on the values found in the results file.
  - Additional Comments
  - Layers
    Layers allow you to display a contour for a specified element layer when a layer definition is available for an element.
  - Value Filter
    The Value filter available in the Contour panel allows you to specify threshold criteria for processing results only in a specific range.
  - Composites Post-processing
    Composites post-processing is enhanced in Altair HyperView with the reorganization of ply results as layers.
  - Caching Results
    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 Node Elemental Results in Contour
    Mid-side nodes refers to the nodes in between the corner nodes of the 2nd order elements.
  - Post-processing Stress Results Using the Contour Panel
- Iso
  Use the Iso tool to display single iso values (iso surfaced for solids or iso line for shells) dependent on results data.
- Vector
  Use the Vector tool to set options for a vector plot.
- Tensor
  Use the Tensor tool to view tensor plots of stress and strain directions and magnitudes for various solvers from elemental values.
- Edit Legend
  The Edit Legend dialog allows you to change the legend properties.
- Graphical Editing of the Legend and Iso-slider
  You can edit the contour, vector, or tensor plot legend in the graphics area.
- Complex Results
  Results in some analysis types come as complex numbers.
- Computed Results
  A listing of results that are computed in HyperView.
- Nodal Averaging of Elemental Results
  Nodal averaging of elemental results at a node refers to the average of all the element corner results passing through that node.
- Averaging Options
  The averaging options allow you to limit the averaging of results to only a group of elements that are considered to be bound by same feature angle or face.
- Multi-model Result Plotting
  HyperView allows for plotting (contour, iso, vector, or tensor) across multiple overlaid models.
- Animation Types
  HyperView's animation functions allow you to view your model in motion. The three types of animation include transient, modal, and linear static.
- Deformed
  Use the Deformed tool to specify parameters for deformation display.
- Derived Load Cases
  The Loadcase tool allows you to create a derived load case from other load cases, or from a combination of other load cases and simulation steps.
- Streamlines
  Use the Streamlines tool to generate streamlines using any available nodal or elemental vector field (typically a velocity field).
- Tracking
  Use the Tracking tool to track any entity during animation.
- Query
  Use the Query tool to view and export properties and other information for nodes, elements, components, and systems contained in the active model.
- Systems Review Dialog
  Use the Systems Review dialog to review the orientations of various element systems (1D, 2D, or 3D), as well as material and ply systems.
- Free Body Diagrams (FBD)
  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).
- Stress Linearization
  Stress linearization, a widely used procedure in the Oil and Gas and ship-building industries, is used to analyze stresses in a structure, such as a pressure vessel.
- HyperWorks Result Math
  A result manipulation library that enables user-defined data types to be added to a result, and transitions complex data manipulation tasks from HyperView to a reusable, modifiable set of libraries that focus solely on result processing tasks.
- CFD Post-Processing
  HyperView offers CFD post-processing capabilities for a large class of industrial applications.
- Fatigue Manager
  The fatigue manager allows you to write stress and strain results from a finite element analysis to an external file that can be used to set up a fatigue analysis.
- Fatigue Configuration File
Annotate Model Results
