Solver Results Supported in HyperView

When you select a model or results file, HyperView automatically detects the file type and selects the proper reader to import the data. If more than one reader claims to support the selected file format, a dialog listing those readers is displayed. From this dialog, you can select the preferred reader.

To extract only a selected set of results, use the external translator HvTrans to create an h3d file.

Solver Interface Support

HyperView supports result files created from the solvers listed below:

FEA Solver	File Format/File Extension
Nastran*	.op2, .xdb
Abaqus*	.odb
ANSYS*	.rst, .rth, .rmg
I-DEAS	.unv
LS-DYNA 3-D** LLNL-DYNA d3plot	.d3plot, .intforc
MARC t16*	.t16
MOLDFLOW	.udm
NIKE 3-D n3plot	.n3plot
PAM-CRASH*	.dsy, .thp (model only), .ERHF5
RADIOSS**	.A00
OptiStruct	.opt, .h3d
HyperMesh RES	.res
Altair Hyper3-D	.h3d

*Solver input file is also supported for this interface.

**Solver input file is also supported, but limited to the keyword interface.

MBD Solver	File Format/File Extension
ADAMS	.gra, .res
Altair flx	.flx
DADS	.def, .bin
Altair Hyper3-D	.h3d
MADYMO	.kin3, .kn3
MotionSolve	.mrf

Calculating the Supported Result "pressure"

For the supported result "pressure", the pressure is generated by the average of the 3 global stresses:

Pr = -(StressX + StressY + StressZ) / 3.0
