The Tools menu in the HyperView window allows you to access the following panels and dialogs:

Add Object

Allows you to add an object to a specific graphic component (part) or modify an existing object.

Collision Detection

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

FLD

Allows you to a 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.

Apply Style

Allows you to select and apply attributes of the active model in the current window to all models available in the current window, the current page, or all pages.

A right-click in the graphics area will activate this dialog.

Extract Solver Deck Assemblies

Allows you to import a HyperMesh exported input deck and extract the HyperMesh commands HMNAME, HMCOLOR, and HMASSEM.  By extracting these commands, HyperView applies the command attributes to the current HyperView model.

Generate PSM for Madymo

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

Allows you to extract the total summation of nodal force and moments for the nodes of the selected elements for ANYSYS result files.

RAD2NOISE

Allows you to prepare a batch file based on your inputs for the RAD2NOISE solver.

Synchronize Animation

Allows you to specify time scales and offsets for the Time Scales… button on the Animation Controls panel or the Image Plane tab.

Export > Iso Surface

Allows you to export the iso surface volume created from solid elements in the STL format.  This file can be read into HyperMesh or a CAD tool for design review.

Export > Plot Styles

Allows you to export the current plot styles as an XML file.

Export > Sets

Allows you to export HyperView set (group) definition files or Patran session files.

Export > Views

Allows you to export the current saved views as a .txt file.

Import > Plot Styles

Allows you to import an XML file containing previously saved plot styles.

Import > Sets

Allows you to import HyperView set (group) definition files, Animator3 session files, or LSPost group files to a HyperView session file.  Importing LSPost group (set) files applies to sets defined on materials only.

Import > Views

Allows you to import a .txt file containing previously saved views.
