Several options are available when loading the results of an ADAMS run into the HyperView window.  The analysis type and the bodies contained in the model determine the model and results file types that you can load.

The HyperView window loads files "on demand." This means that when you click Apply on the panel, only the model is loaded into the window.  The results are loaded when you click the traffic light button, which stops and starts the animation.  If you want to load results for less than the total time contained in the ADAMS .gra file or for time increments longer than the ADAMS .gra file default, you can change these values in the Animation Controls panel before clicking the traffic light.  The "load on demand" feature will only load the required time steps.

The use cases listed below refer to an ALTAIR .flx file.

Note:Any reference to an ADAMS .res file is for the ASCII format only
