Results Data
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.
  - Section Cut
    Use the Section Cut tool to cut planar or deformable 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.
- Overlay Images/Videos
  Select and overlay images or videos in the modeling window for correlation and presentation purposes.
- Rendering Models
  Select a graphics rendering mode and change the appearance of materials.
- Additional Tools for Post-Processing
  The Tools menu provides you access to various panels and dialogs.
- Profiles
  Load preference file profiles to access the various Aerospace tools, NVH utilities, and Vehicle Safety Tools.
- Preferences Menu
  From the Preferences menu, you can access the Options dialog.
- Display/Visualization Options
  Explore the various display and visualization tools.
Plot Data
