Highlights
Highlights of this release include an addition of a new measure type to compute shortest distance between two entities, graphical in-place editing of legend, a new graphical slider on the legend for iso-plots, and some general enhancements and bug fixes.
A new measure to calculate the shortest (minimum) distance between any two entities during a simulation is added. The entities can be nodes, elements, or components. If elements/components are picked on the “To” side, HyperView will take into account the surface of the element when calculating the shortest distance. As the animation is played, the graphics will be updated to show the shortest distance. Additionally, users can plot this measure in a HyperGraph window similar to other measure types.
For fastest calculation, use node sets. If more accuracy is desired, pick element or component sets and in this case, the time taken to calculate distance through one cycle of animation is directly proportional to the size of the sets.

The HyperView legend is enhanced to allow users to edit values and colors of the legend by just clicking on it and changing it in-place instead of using the Edit legend dialog.
A context menu is also available on right clicking the legend, to let users modify other attributes of the legend such as format, location etc.

This enhancement gives users a quick and convenient way to create & control iso-plots. Simply use the legend context menu to add an iso-plot that is based on the contour settings and then move the graphical slider on the left side of the legend up and down to control its display. The threshold value and mode of the iso-plot can be changed in the Iso section of the legend.

| • | HyperView Player is enhanced to allow users to change the animation mode (e.g. transient to modal or transient to linear). |
| • | Utility to extract assemblies from LS-Dyna input deck is enhanced to support include files. |
| • | New report template parameters for parametrizing display attributes such as mesh mode and views at a model level is provided. |
| • | New preference menu option to retain the rotation center even when it is moved off the screen is added. |
|
| • | Differences in contour plot display between HyperView and HyperView player due to absence of accelerated graphics option in the player. Accelerated graphics is now enabled in HyperView player. |
