Results Data
Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.
- Results Data in HyperMesh
  Direct integration of native results readers into HyperMesh allows you to perform results visualization on the model.
- Results Data in HyperView
  HyperView is a complete environment to visualize, query, and process results data.
  - Working with Models
    Open animation files, measure various distances and angles between entities, and use the Results Browser to view the model structure and find, display, and edit entities.
  - Animate and Visualize Results
    Create section cuts and explore the various result plotting tools.
    - Create and View Section Cuts
      Use the Section Cut tool to cut planar or spherical sections through a model.
    - Contour
      Use the Contour tool to create contour plots of a model and graphically visualize the analysis results.
    - 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.
    - 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
      The fatigue configuration file is a user-defined external ASCII-file through which the data groups from results of static/modal/transient analysis of different solvers can be read.
  - Create Entities
    Create and edit user-defined data type expressions, derived load cases, and systems. You can also plot a forming limit diagram, generate streamlines, track entities during animation, and create and import/export sets of entities.
  - Query Data
    Query entities, create or edit free body diagrams, construct multiple curves and plots from a single result file, and create and plot stress linearization.
  - Annotate Models
    Annotate animation files using notes or trace various entities during animation.
  - Transform Models
    Define planes of symmetry/axisymmetry or explode a model.
