The Export Solver Deck feature allows you to export the deformed shape as a Abaqus, DynaKey, OptiStruct/Nastran, or STL model. These files can be read into a pre-processor, such as HyperMesh, or into a CAD tool to view the deformed geometry. From the File menu, select Export > Solver Deck to display the dialog.
| Note: | This tool writes out unscaled coordinates only. If scaled coordinates are needed, use the Linear Superposition utility in HyperView to create a subcase, and then use this utility to export the solver deck (with scaled coordinates). |

Export Deformed Shape dialog
To export a deformed shape from HyperView:
| 1. | From the File menu, select Export > Solver Deck. The Export Deformed Shape dialog is displayed. |
| 2. | From the Select format drop-down menu, select Abaqus, Dynakey, OptiStruct/Nastran, RADIOSS, or STL. |
| 3. | Use the File name file browser to select the directory and name to which you want to save your file. |
The following pop-up message appears:
| 6. | Click Yes to continue exporting the solver deck. |
| - | Click OK to close the dialog. You can now open this file in HyperMesh (or another pre-processor), or a CAD tool. |
OR (if scaled coordinates are needed):
Click No to stop the exporting of the solver deck.
| - | Click Cancel to close the dialog. |
Use the Linear Superposition utility in HyperView to create a subcase, and then use this utility to export the deformed shape (with scaled coordinates). See "To create a derived loadstep from a simulation list" in the Derived Load Steps topic (located in the HyperView User's Guide) for additional information on creating a derived loadstep.
