hmmflow

hmmflow translates ASCII files from MF/FLOW, MF/COOL, MF/WARP, MF/GAS. hmmflow also translates .OUT ASCII results files from MOLDFLOW to HyperMesh binary results files.

Note: .OUT file translation is separate from the translation of other files. For translating .OUT files, use the -out option. If both .OUT files and other ASCII files need to be translated, run hmmflow twice - once with the -out option and once without the -out option.

The syntax to translate ASCII files (other than .OUT files) is:

hmmflow [arguments] <input file> (without extensions) <output file> <model file>

where [arguments] can be any of the following:

Flag	Meaning
-flow	Process results from MF/FLOW
-cool	Process results from MF/COOL
-warp	Process results from MF/WARP
-gas	Process results from MF/GAS
-pr	Pressure
-ft	Front Temperature
-ti	Time
-it	Instant Temperature
-ap	Air Trap
-wl	Weld Lines
-gf	Grow From
-msh	Maximum Shear
-mst	Maximum Stress
-fa	Flow Angle
-ev	Equivalent Viscosity
-pf	Percent Frozen
-tp	Throughput
-ct	Cooling Time
-sr	Shear Rate
-ss	Shear Stress
-t	Temperature
-mhs	Maximum Hold Pressure
-ht	Hold Time
-pvs	Percent Volume Shrink
-ad	App. Density
-bt	Bottom Temperature
-tt	Top Temperature
-td	Temperature Difference
-pat	Part Average Temperature
-pmt	Part Maximum Temperature
-ptp	Peak T.Pos
-tf	Top Frozen (%)
-df	Diff. Frozen (%)
-rn	Reynolds Number
-fr	Flow Rate
-cp	Circular Pressure
-shpa	Sh. Parallel
-shpe	Sh. Perpendicular
-shis	Sh. Isotropic
-shvo	Sh. Volume
-oran	Oriange (Orientation Angle)
-dpar	Cen.Dist.Par
-dper	Cen.Dist.Per
-gt	Gas Time
-pp	Percent Polymer
-sh	Shear

The syntax to translate .OUT ASCII files is:

hmmflow -out [other arguments] <input file> <output file> <model file>

where [other arguments] can be any of the following:

Flag	Meaning
-d	Displacements
-r	Rotations
-w	Warp Value
-gs	Gauss point stresses (if this option is used, stresses at the 3 gauss points are automatically output)
-mx	Moment-x (3 points)
-my	Moment-y (3 points)
-txy	Twist-xy (3 points)
-sxz	Shear-xz (3 points)
-syz	Shear-yz (3 points)

The following options can also be used:

Flag	Meaning
-disk	Translation is performed on disk
-size	Number of entities (10000 default)
-file	Scratch file name

The following files are input from the results translator hmmflow:

inputfile.fnr

inputfile.fNN, where NN is a number from 0 to 99.

inputfile.fer

inputfile.tNN, where NN is a number from 0 to 99.

inputfile.pnr

inputfile.pNN, where NN is a number from 0 to 99.

inputfile.per

inputfile.vNN, where NN is a number from 0 to 99.

inputfile.cep

inputfile.cem

inputfile.sev

inputfile.out

The name of a simulation indicates if it is from MF/FLOW, MF/COOL, MF/WARP, or MF/GAS. The name ends with _F if it is from MF/FLOW, _C if it is from MF/COOL, _W if it is from MF/WARP and _G if it is from MF/GAS.

Only trias and 1-D elements are supported.

In the case of model files produced for .OUT files, each element group of the .OUT file corresponds to a HyperMesh component GroupN, where N is the group ID. Each of these groups can be viewed individually by selecting the display panel.
