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 Section Cut panel, apply a section cut to the model.
From the Streamlines panel, click Add.
A new rake is added to the list. The newly added rake is automatically
labeled, and is added to the bottom of the list.
Tip: You can rename
the rake using the right-click context menu.
From the Rake type drop-down menu, select Plane.
A Plane rake is defined by three points (N1, N2, N3) or by a cross
section.
Optional: Define the rake by points.
Pick three non-collinear nodes directly on the model in the modeling window.
Click the node/vector input collector N1,
N2, N3 and select
By ID to select your desired nodes.
HyperView will automatically provide the X, Y, Z
positions (coordinates) of the nodes at the time of definition.
Click the
expansion button
to open the Reference point dialog in order to review or change these
coordinates.Figure 1.
Tip: Alternatively, if you know the specific coordinates of the end
points defining the rake, you can simply enter them in the
X, Y,
Z coordinate text boxes.
Optional: Define the rake by section.
Select the Section option from the input
collector drop-down menu.
Select your desired nodes.
Pick a section directly on the model in the modeling window.
Click the entity input collector Section and use
the Select by ID dialog to select your desired
section.
Restriction: This option is only available if a section cut has been
applied.
Select the integration mode for the rake from the Integration
mode drop-down menu.
Option
Description
Downstream
Integration is done following the velocity field direction.
Upstream
Integration is done upstream, or opposite, to the velocity field
direction.
Both
Integration is done both downstream and upstream.
The Evenly distributed option evenly distributes the
seeds in a rake by the specified number of rows and columns of seeds in a local
system. This option is always activated for Plane rakes.
Enter the number of desired rows of seeds in the Number of
rows text box.
Enter the number of desired columns of seeds in the Number of
columns text box.
From the Streamlines tab, select the vector field to be used for streamline
creation (typically the velocity field) from the Source
drop-down menu.
Note: You can also click Advanced to open the dialog
which allows you to change a number of parameters that control how the
streamlines are generated.
In addition, the Tracers tab can also be used to create and animate
streamlines with particles traveling along the streamlines:
Click on the Tracers tab.
Enter your desired options for tracer designs, coloring options, and
injection modes.
Click on the Create button to start the
animation.
Enter/select your desired Display options.
Option
Description
Auto-generate
Activate the check box to automatically generate streamlines upon
release of the mouse button, if the rake remains at least partly in the
fluid domain and the stream lines existed prior to changing the rake.
If the streamline is contoured prior to changing the rake, the
contour will be automatically regenerated also.
Draw as tube
Active this option to draw the streamlines as tubes instead of
lines.
The streamlines will appear to have a larger diameter (for
the same streamline size) when this option is
activated.
Size
Use the drop-down menu to select one of the following options:
Streamline
Enter the relative scale for the streamline thickness. The
value must be a positive whole number.
Seed
Enter the size of the seed nodes which are being used as the
starting point for the streamline generation.
Color by
Use the drop-down menu to select one of the following options:
Seed
Use the number specified in the Number of colors text box to
distinguish streamlines.
Note: This option is disabled if a
contour is applied to the model. HyperView supports streamline
contouring for nodal results only (elemental results are
not supported).
Tip: To remove the
contour, and enable the Color by option, go to the
Contour panel and click Clear
Contour.
Rake
Each rake is displayed in one color.
Tip: To change the color of a rake, right-click
on the color box icon in the Results Browser and select a new
color.
Number of colors
Enter the number of distinct colors (1-14) to use when the Color by
drop-down menu is set to Seed.
Click the Create Streamlines button to create and view
the streamlines with the specified data for the selected rakes.
Note: It is important to note that streamlines may not always be created. For
example, selecting a rake on a typical flow inlet surface and specifying
Integration Mode Upstream will not produce streamlines.
Optional: Use the Graphical Manipulator to rotate, translate, or modify the scale of the
rake.
