Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality and create, edit, and apply
shapes for subsequent design optimization studies.
The Design Space environment is dedicated to topology optimization model build and setup. It facilitates rapid model creation by generating
the voxel design space for a number of different use cases.
Many essential utility tools using HyperWorks-Tcl have been developed over the years to support Aerospace customers. A few tools have been collected and upgraded to
be compatible with this release.
When a plot entity is selected from the plot browser tree, its properties and values are displayed in the Properties
Table, also referred to as the Entity Editor. The fields displayed in the Properties Table are dependent on the curve or entity type selected from the Plot Browser tree.
The HyperGraphPlot Browser is located in the tab area sidebar and allows you to view
the HyperGraph plot structure.
The Plot Browser tools allow you to search, display, and edit
plot data within the current session. From the Plot Browser, you
can select entities one at a time or several simultaneously using common selection
techniques. You can also use the Plot Browser's
context-sensitive menus to select entities. Many of the operations found in the
HyperGraph panels can be performed in the Plot Browser, thus allowing you to modify your plot and curve
properties in one location. Some of these operations include:
Perform single curve math and multiple curve math operations.
Rename curves.
Modify or delete curve properties, such as:
Curve attributes
Legends
Notes
Datum Lines
Axes
Plot options
Plot macros
The Plot Browser can be turned on or off using the View > Plot Browser
menu option. A check mark indicates that the Plot Browser is activated for display in the tab area.
Note: Click and drag the Plot Browser to reposition
it elsewhere in the interface.
The following options can be used to change the display state of various entities in
the Plot Browser tree.
Select All
Selects all entities shown in the tree.
Select None
Clears all entity selections shown in the tree.
Reverse Selection
Reverses the state of the items in the tree (displays the hidden and hides
the displayed).
Plot Browser Views
Within the Plot Browser, there are seven predefined browser view modes, accessible via the first row of icons within the Plot Browser.
Plot Browser Filter
The Plot Browser contains several ways to filter your plot data to display specific plot entities in the browser.
Plot Browser Context Sensitive Menu
From the Plot Browser, right-click on a highlighted entity to access the following context sensitive menu options.
Properties Table/Entity Editor
When a plot entity is selected from the plot browser tree, its properties and values are displayed in the Properties Table, also referred to as the Entity Editor. The fields displayed in the Properties Table are dependent on the curve or entity type selected from the Plot Browser tree.
Curve Name Properties
The Properties option gives you more control over how the curve names appear in the plot legend.
