Add Object

Add an object to a specific graphic component or modify an existing object.

Build Plots

Construct multiple curves and plots from a single result file.

Collision Detection

The Collision Detection panel can be used to demonstrate collision interference checking.

Contour

Defines contour options for FEA results.

Deformed

Specify parameters, such as the scale factor, for deformation display for an FEA model.

Entity Attributes

Settings such as component color, mesh lines, shading, transparency, and entity display options are available in the multi-body dynamics (MBD) results.

Exploded View

Explode a model for better visualization.  You can also create, delete, and save customized exploded views.

FLD

Plot a Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) based on a material Forming Limit Curve (FLC) and the major and minor strain output results of a forming simulation.

Iso

View iso values for a selected result type, such as density, stress, or strain values.

----

Load Model

Animation files are opened from the toolbar.  Use the file browser to locate and load model and results animation files.

Mask

Mask elements from the display.

Measures

Measures the relative distance between nodes, the angle between nodes, or entity results.  You can create curves from a selected measure into preview a plot, a new plot, or an existing plot.

Notes

Notes can be added to animation files to annotate the image using the Note panel.

Query

Retrieves properties for nodes, components, elements, and systems.

Section Cut

Cuts planar or deformable sections through an FEA model.

Sets

Create, import, and export sets/groups of components, elements, and nodes into HyperView. You can also import Animator3 session files and LSPost group files into HyperView.

Streamlines

Define multiple line and area rakes, with options to control the number of seeds and the integration mode.

Tracing

Entities can be traced during animation.  When an object is traced, a series of transparent images of the object are left behind at certain intervals along the path of motion.

Tracking

Track a component during animation.  When a component is tracked, the view remains constant with respect to the selected nodes.

Tensor

View tensor plots of stress and strain directions and magnitudes for various solvers from elemental values.

Vector

View a vector plot for nodal vector results such as displacements, velocities, and accelerations.
