2020.1
Explore additional post-processing options related to the input result files.
Explore the various result plotting tools for the imported result files.
Use the Contour tool to create contour plots of a model and graphically visualize the analysis results.
Learn about creating and managing contour plots.
View new features for HyperLife 2020.1.
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Discover HyperLife functionality with interactive tutorials.
Fatigue Analysis is intended for solutions to structures in a large number of loading cycles.
Set up your model for analysis.
Run the model and view results.
Learn how to create, open, import and save models.
Explode the model and create derived load cases.
Use the Sets tool to create, import, and export sets/groups of components (parts), elements, and nodes.
Explore the various display and visualization tools.
View your model in motion using animation controls.
A contour plot generates color bands on the model, based on the values found in the results file.
Layers allow you to display a contour for a specified element layer when a layer definition is available for an element.
The Value filter available in the Contour panel allows you to specify threshold criteria for processing results only in a specific range.
Composites post-processing is enhanced in HyperLife with the reorganization of ply results as layers.
After a contour plot has been applied in the Contour panel, the Cache feature will become active and allow you to add the currently active contour result to an internal cache.
Mid-side nodes refers to the nodes in between the corner nodes of the 2nd order elements.
Use the Iso tool to display single iso values (iso surfaced for solids or iso line for shells) dependent on results data.
Use the Vector tool to set options for a vector plot.
Use the Tensor tool to view tensor plots of stress and strain directions and magnitudes for various solvers from elemental values.
The Edit Legend dialog allows you to change the legend properties.
You can edit the contour, vector, or tensor plot legend in the graphics area.
Results in some analysis types come as complex numbers.
A listing of results that are computed in HyperLife.
Nodal averaging of elemental results at a node refers to the average of all the element corner results passing through that node.
The averaging options allow you to limit the averaging of results to only a group of elements that are considered to be bound by same feature angle or face.
Annotate model results using Notes and Measures.
The Expression Builder is a graphical user interface which allows user-defined data type expressions to be authored directly within HyperLife.
Create your own user defined coordinate systems or select result coordinate systems.
