Highlights
Highlights of this release include (a) image plane enhancements, (b) new Radius measure, (c) some general enhancements and bug fixes. Please read below for more details.
Three enhancements are made to image plane functionality to (1) re-compute view based on information about image cropping (2) check quality of overlay using zoom option and (3) track 2D image planes.
| 1. | Re-compute view based on information about image cropping |
Aligning test videos with CAE animations using a user defined view was added in version 14. If the test video has been cropped, it is important to provide information so that the view can be modified. A new section in view EE is added to provide this information. User can enter information in pixels about how much the video has been cropped from each side (top, bottom, left and right) and HV will automatically adjust the view by re-calculating focal point and focal point offset.
In order to inspect closely and check the accuracy of alignment, an option is added to image plane EE to zoom the image plane along with the CAE animation. When this mode is on, panning of the image plane is not allowed.
This capability is added to 2D image planes to allow overlay and correlation of test and simulation in cases where the setup of the test is different from that of the simulation (for e.g. they are moving in opposite directions). Options are added under a new Model tab to either allow the user to select a point in the image plane and fix it in space or to use the tracking system of the model. The image plane movement is then adjusted to maintain the same relative position of the point with respect to the model.

A new measure type is added to calculate the radius and center of the circle based on three nodes. Similar to other measures, the circle is updated and values are re-computed for every step of the animation. Options to plot the measure as a curve, compute it in a different system are available.

This tool is available under the Tools menu to review Abaqus ODB steps/increment information. The tool accesses important diagnostic information that the Abaqus solver writes to the ODB during analysis and displays it within a browser tab in HyperView. It is organized into two sections – the top portion shows the Job History as a hierarchy and the bottom portion shows general job information, warnings, and information about residuals, contacts, etc.
