_s#.h3d file
The _s#.h3d file is a compressed binary file, containing both model and result data. It can be used to post-process results in HyperView or using the HyperView Player.
File Creation
The _s#.h3d file is created when the H3D format is chosen (See documentation for the I/O Option OUTPUT), and an optimization is performed containing a linear static subcase. A similar file is created for each static subcase.
File Contents
The _s#.h3d file contains node and element definitions in addition to the following results:
Result |
Description |
Displacement |
Displacement results from linear static analysis. Output is controlled by the I/O Option DISPLACEMENT. |
Element strain energy |
Element strain energy results from linear static analysis. Output is controlled by the I/O Option ESE. |
Stress |
Stress results from linear static analysis. Output is controlled by the I/O Option STRESS (or ELSTRESS). |
Density |
Density results from topology optimization. Output is controlled by the I/O Option DENSITY. |
Shape |
Shape results from topography, shape, and free shape optimization. Output is controlled by the I/O Option SHAPE. |
Comments
1. | The # in the file name is the user-defined subcase ID. |
2. | The I/O Option RESULTS controls the frequency of output for analytical results during an optimization. |
