HyperGraph contains enhanced functionality for displaying and analyzing even a large number of curves, thereby improving a curve's visibility and usability. Inspect mode, which increases the screen area of the plot, is triggered via double-click. In this mode, single curves can be highlighted by fading out all other curves both in the graphics area and in the legend, and data point markers can be shown on the pre-highlighted curves when the mouse pointer moves over them. Similarly, notes can be displayed as a symbol and pop-up at mouse-over, which allows for the visualization of many notes in a small area. Pre-highlighting of all plot entities is also supported, including the highlighting of entities in non-active windows. For plots with multiple axes, only the axes associated with the highlighted curves will be shown.

The Plot Browser now supports filtering in all Plot Browser Views for all HyperGraph entities. In previous versions, filtering was only possible for curves and vectors in the Curve View; now filters for axes, notes, legends, headers, footers, and datum lines in the corresponding views can be added. Adding filters via the property tables using the right mouse button makes it fast and easy to filter for every entity property.

Multiple layout enhancements to TableView come with this build. The default table size is increased and cells can be merged and split over columns. Text alignment, both horizontal and vertical, is now possible, and the border thickness can be controlled. Cut, copy and paste from and to Excel is now supported, in addition to the export and import of Excel *.csv files.

This new feature can replace customized solutions which are designed to create summary tables for overlaid reports. Two methods can be used to overlay tables: appending rows/columns or inserting (interlacing/alternating) rows/columns. “Append” mode will append whole rows or columns to the table, as part of one single overlay area, every time a report is overlaid. “Interlace” mode allows the user to define multiple interlace areas which will be inserted in such a way that results of the same type can be seen side by side, e.g. the summary table will show first the head acceleration values side by side, then the chest intrusion side by side, for all overlaid runs in a crash evaluation. Header cells which are above these areas will be expanded.

This feature allows the user to search for the best curve channel match based on the Type, Request and Component names when curve channels are not available in the selected result files. A typical use-case would be if the user wants to use a report template for only slightly different channel names, e.g. for driver and co-driver in crash test data. The results are sorted using a string match to the shortest distance, and the user can confirm and edit the search results before the report will be applied.  

HgTrans now supports improved filtering which allows for the handling of large files with huge request lists via a GUI which has a modern look and feel. Filtering using wildcards allows much more detailed filter strings, and the user is warned before a filter string which would return such a huge list, therefore slowing down the interactive workflow, is applied.

If one or more HyperView windows are open on the same page as a HyperGraph 2D window and the user selects “Highlight Source Entity in Model” from the context-sensitive curve menu, the referenced node, element or component will be highlighted in HyperView.  Using the “Isolate” option will show only the components which contains the respective entities. This will also work for math reference curves which refer to multiple result curves of multiple entities. This feature is supported for LS-Dyna only.

The enabling of Unit Scaling for math functions allows to the user change the axis units without the need to change scale factors in vectors or math expressions in notes. The unit scaling converts the input as required by the function and synchronizes the output units with the input units. This is supported for injury and trig functions; the related Vehicle Safety Tools macros are adapted automatically if Unit Scaling is enabled. Preference file statements are available to support unit scaling for customized functions as well.

New math functions are added:

Campbell Diagrams illustrate the dependency of the Eigen frequencies on the rotation rates. The user can define, in a separate GUI, the intersection area, the engine order list for full or half orders and the layout of the required output. Summary tables can be displayed in the TableView client and exported in CSV format. Notes at intersections can be displayed in minimized mode so that the information for each only appears when the mouse pointer hovers over the note’s symbol.
