Results Data
HyperView is a complete environment to visualize, query, and process results data.
Additional Tools for Post-Processing
The Tools menu provides you access to various panels and dialogs.
Mask
The Mask panel allows you to mask elements, components, and systems to reduce the number of entities displayed on the screen. With fewer entities displayed on the screen, it is easier to pick the necessary elements or visualize important areas of a model.

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.
- 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.
  - Add Object
    Use the Add Object tool to add a graphical representation as an object to a specific component (part) or modify an existing object.
  - Deformed
    Use the Deformed tool to specify parameters for deformation display.
  - Collision Detection
    Use the Collision Detection tool to perform collision interference checking.
  - Systems Review Dialog
    Use the Systems Review dialog to review the orientations of various element systems (1D, 2D, or 3D), as well as material and ply systems.
  - Mask
    The Mask panel allows you to mask elements, components, and systems to reduce the number of entities displayed on the screen. With fewer entities displayed on the screen, it is easier to pick the necessary elements or visualize important areas of a model.
  - Entity Attributes
    Visual properties such as shading, color, and mesh lines can be assigned to entities using the Entity Attributes panel.
  - Apply Style Options Dialog
    The Apply Style options dialog allows you to select and apply display attributes of the active model in the current window to all models available in the current window, the current page, all pages, or selected HyperView windows in the session.
  - Extract Solver Deck Assemblies
    The Extract Solver Deck Assemblies tool allows you to import a HyperMesh exported input deck and extract the HyperMesh commands HMNAME, HMCOLOR, and HMASSEM.
  - Generate PSM for Madymo
    The Generate PSM for MADYMO function allows you to save analysis results of nodes as a PSM (Prescribed Structural Motion) file. Displacement results from any animation can be exported as a PSM file.
  - Extract summed node force/moments-Ansys
    A script for ANSYS result files, which allows you to extract total summation of nodal force and moments for the nodes of the selected elements.
  - RAD2NOISE
    The RAD2NOISE dialog in the utilities page allows you to create an input file based on your inputs. This input file can be used to run the RAD2NOISE solver in batch mode.
  - Synchronize Animation
    Use the Synchronize Animation dialog to synchronize windows that contain animation results in different units and/or begin at different time steps.
  - Contour Measure Curves
    The Contour Measure Curves dialog allows you to quickly plot contour measure curves.
  - Import
    The Tools menu Import option allows you to access sub-menu options and dialogs for plot styles, sets, and views.
  - Export
    The Tools menu Export option allows you to access sub-menu options and dialogs for iso surface, plot styles, sets, and views.
- 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
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many CAE file formats.
