HyperView – Visualizing Transient Results

Vector results are displayed as arrows. The length of the arrow denotes the magnitude of the vector and the direction of the arrow is along the direction of the vector result. Colors are used to provide a further visual cue. Large vectors are colored red and small vectors blue. Intermediate rainbow colors are used to color intermediate sized results.

Available Results

The following different types of vector results are available for visualization for each point in time:
Contact Normal Force The normal force on each triangle.
Contact Penetration Depth The penetration depth vector on each triangle.
Contact Penetration Velocity The penetration velocity vector on each triangle.
Contact Point Slip Velocity The slip velocity vector at the contact point on each triangle.
Contact Tangential Force The frictional force on each triangle.
Contact Total Force The total force on each triangle (normal + tangential).
