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.
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, 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.
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.
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.
From the Results toolbar, click Derived Load
Steps.
The Create/Edit Derived Load Case dialog is
displayed.
Click New to add a new derived load case is added to the
Derived load case drop-down menu.
The new load case is given the default name Derived Load Case "n", with "n"
being the next number in the series.
Select a load case/simulation from the regular load case list (located on the
left-hand side of the dialog).
Note: In the regular load case view, the load case list will only display the
list of regular load cases (load cases which are obtained directly from the
solver results). In the derived load case view, the load case list will only
display the list of derived load cases (load cases which are derived from
regular load cases).
Currently, the creation of derived load cases is only
allowed from regular load cases. The creation of derived load cases from
other derived load cases may be supported in the future.
Click the right blue arrow (add button).
The selected simulation time steps included in the load case are added
to the new derived load case.
Select the simulation time steps you want to add to the new load case.
Click Apply to create the new derived load case and
remain in the dialog.
Note: You can also click OK to create the new derived
load case and exit the dialog.
