Solution Tab

File type

From the File type drop-down menu, select a solver type.

Current/Reference

Select the Current/Reference HyperWorks version number from the list.

Input file

Click the file open icon,, to select the input file/.OUT file

Output directory

Click the file open icon,, to select your output directory to store your results file.

OUT file comparison

•	Check Run: Input file (solver deck) is solved for 0 ms and displays the Run status.

•	Out Ref.Compare: The Input file (solver deck) is solved for 0 ms and displays the run status. The .out file generated after a solver check run is compared with the Reference .out file.

•	OUT Compare: The Input .out file is compared with the Reference .out file.

•	OUT file comparison: The Input file (solver deck) is solved for 0 ms in the Current and Reference solver version. Generated .out files will be compared.

Check Run

Click Check Run to output your solution.

Status

Under Result file, click Status to view the status of the solver model check run.

Message log file

A dynamically created message log file displays the current status of processes in progress. Click on a Status/Diff button to display the respective report. The message log file is a text file and is saved to your output directory.

Html Report

Generates an HTML report of your session information for any number of files run through the process.

Solver Type

From the Solver Type drop-down menu, select a solver whose results are to be compared. Options include HyperXtrude and Tool_Deflection.

Tolerance

The value used to set the tolerance for the difference in values between the reference and current version result files during comparison.

Default - 1e-6 for Scalar, Tensor, and Vector, if not individually chosen.

Scalar – Enter values if different for the scalar result type.

Vector – Enter values if different for the vector result type.

Tensor – Enter values if different for the tensor result type.

User defined tolerance – Set the individual tolerance value for all data types.

Click Apply to set new values (enter the values in the text box).

Result

From the Result drop-down menu, select the result type. Dynamically loads the selected result file type under Load Result on Run Solver.

PPT/HTML Report

Use one of these options to generate a PowerPoint or HTML report of the result value comparison.

•	For Pass - This returns a detailed report containing one slide per data type across load cases.

•	For Fail - In case of a failure, one-slide-per-load-case for each data type is published so that it is easy to identify the load case that contains a difference in values.

Current/Reference

The Current and Reference sections contain the following options:

Version - Select the solver version from the drop-down menu.

Run Solver - This is required if the result files are not available, and the solver needs to be run to generate result files (for only one or both versions).

The RADIOSS or OptiStruct solvers invoked in batch mode and the model selected through Load Model are run, and the result file path is populated in the Load Result field.

Load Model - Select the HyperView model file.

Load Result - Select the HyperView results file (if Run solver is not selected).

Output directory

Click the file open icon to select your output directory to store your results.

Click Run Solver if the Run solver check box is activated.

The RADIOSS or OptiStruct solvers invoked in batch mode and the model selected through Load Model are run, and the result file path is populated in the Load Result field.

Apply - Click Apply to generate data to compare the results with combinations of the following: Subcase, Simulation and Datatype.

HyperView

Click the HyperView button to launch HyperView interactive. Use the set of commands below for results comparison:

::Displaycontour – Applies a contour to the Reference result.

::Applytolerance – Applies the tolerance.

::Diffcontour – Compares the Current and Reference results for the selected data type.

Subcase

Simulation

Result Type

Select any combination of Subcase, Simulation and Result type from the populated areas.

Click All to select all items listed.

Apply

Click Apply to generate data to compare the results with combinations of the following: Subcase, Simulation and Datatype.

Tolerance

Click Tolerance to list all Result Types in a table. Set the individual tolerance for each data type.

Compare result

The Compare result section displays the current file and the corresponding Reference file. Click Report to display the diff report detailing the differences between files.

Message log file

A dynamically created message log file displays the current status of processes in progress. Click a Status/Diff button to display the respective report. The message log file is a text file and is saved to your output directory.
