Below are the properties associated with the Image entity.
Note: Image properties are HyperWorks client

HyperMesh properties Figure 2.
Name
You can change the name property of the image item.
Source
Select the image source.
Caption
Provide a caption for the captured image. This caption
is visible in the exported Document report.
Location of Caption
Select the caption location from the list. These are
standard locations as present in Microsoft Word. Image
captions locations can be: Figure 3.
Basic
Model
Select the required page or window from the
HyperWorks
session.
Crop Image
Checkbox option to crop an image. This option
discards empty/white space in the graphics area
and exports only the model area. Below is an
illustration of the crop image option. Figure 4.
Below are the properties associated with the HyperView Image:
The first four properties are the
same as the HyperMesh client. Figure 5.
Basic
Model
Select the required page or window from the
HyperWorks
session.
Output Type
Choose between various output formats for the
exported image. The available output types are:
Image: A .png (static)
image is exported.
Animated GIF: A standard animation file is
exported. The GIF option is supported only for
Presentation reports.
H3D: A HyperView
results file with the animation is
exported.
Note: H3D preview is not available on
LibreOffice 5.0.
Crop Image
Checkbox option to crop an image.
Notes
Create Note
Checkbox option to create notes in the images.
This activates other note creation options.
Note Text
Enter the desired query options in the
Define Text dialog.
Note:
You can manually enter the expressions or
query statements. The same syntax from the
Description section of the Note creation panel in
HyperView can be
followed.
You can also configure note expressions using
the array of default note query options. Select a
note type and click Insert.
This query is added to the note and will be
exported to an image in the report. The list is
shown below. Figure 6.
Note Location
Select the location for the notes to be created.
Supported note locations are:
Component: Notes are created at the CoG of the
component.
Maximum of Contour: Notes are created where
the maximum contour value is seen in an
entity.
Minimum of Contour: Notes are created where
the minimum contour value is seen in an
entity.
Hotspots of Contour: Notes are created at
hotspots of an entity. There are a few options
that are required to capture the hotspot values.
They are listed below.
Best View
When enabled, this option sets the best view
possible for the entity and captures the image.
The Best View algorithm finds the element at
which the maximum/minimum contour value is
seen.
Then, it finds the element normal direction at
this critical element and accordingly sets the
view of the model to be captured in the
image.
Find Hotspots
Find hotspots for values above or below
threshold values.
Threshold
Numerical value to define the threshold.
Tolerance
Numerical value to define the tolerance between
contour values of two adjacent elements.
Tolerance Method
Two available methods- Contour Value and
Distance.
The hotspot detection algorithm first finds
the element with the highest contour value (center
element). It then finds the adjacent elements and
their contour values. If these contour values are
lower than the center element, then the elements
adjacent to these elements are found and
correspondingly the contour values. This is
repeated until an element is found that has a
contour value higher than its center element by
the Tolerance specified by you. This element is
considered as the new hotspot.
For example, if
you have set the tolerance as 50, element A has
the highest contour values (750). ARD finds
adjacent elements and their contour values (710,
670, 665) until it finds the element B (710) which
has the highest value. B shows 720 in the
image. Figure 7.
Distance: The distance method makes sure that
every next hotspot is leaving a tolerance of
specified distance around the previous hotspots.
The distance is measured from nodes, the centroid
of the elements or components as per the result
binding. This method is the most performance
efficient.
Maximum Hotspots
Number for hotspots for note creation.
Note: The
number of hotspots that can be searched with value
method is limited up to 5.
Note Display Options
You can select the style for the notes from the
list. Any custom note styles present in the
selected Model page are listed.
Zoom factor
Set the magnification value from zero to ten.
This specified zoom factor is applied to that
entity where the Note is created.
HyperView
Set to Transparent
You can define the transparency settings for the
entities in the model. The supported transparency
options are:
None - None of the elements are set to
transparent.
3D Elements - Only 3D elements are set to
transparent.
2D Elements - Only 2D elements are set to
transparent.
All - All of the elements are set to
transparent.
All Except Hotspot - Except for the component
or group on which maximum/minimum/hotspots are
seen, all others are set to transparent.
Hide Local Systems
Select this checkbox to hide all of the local
coordinate systems from being included in the
report images.
Hide Model Info Note
Select this checkbox to hide the model
information note from the report images.
Auto Fit Model
Select this option to auto fit the model. If the
Best View option is selected, then Auto Fit is
automatically applied to the model.
Note: If Best
View is enabled, the auto fit is applied to the
model even though the Auto Fit option is not
enabled. Hence, when you select the Best View
option, the Auto Fit option is disabled in the
panel.
Legend File
Specify the legend file to be used to update the
contour legend. A file selection option is enabled
once the box is checked.
Set Dynamic Legend
Specify if the legend type is to be set to the
Dynamic scale. If selected, the legend of the
contour is automatically updated for only
Displayed entities. This option is helpful when an
image is looped over some result type and if the
legend of the contour is to be dynamically updated
for each displayed component considered under
looping.
Capture Area
Select the image capture area.
Legend and Graphic Area: The Legend and
Graphics area are both captured.
Graphics Area: Only the graphics area is
captured.
Legend Only: Only the contour legend is
captured
Advanced
When an image entity is added under a Loop Results module,
additional results processing properties are activated. They
are listed below.
To utilize the advanced options, you have to select
components and loadcases for the Loop Results module
first. Figure 8.
Threshold
Define the Fail and Warn limits for the results
looping.
Fail and Warn limits are suggested automatically
based on the contour values of the applied
results. You can edit them as well. Figure 9.
Once executed, a results table with the color
codes is added to the report.
Red for Fail
Yellow for Warn
Green for Safe
Figure 10.
Scale Results
Scale contour results for looping. Figure 11.
Scale factor is set to one by default; you can
edit them as well.
Once executed, a result table with the scaled
results with the scale factor is added to the
report. Figure 12.
