Loop Results

This module allows you to capture the overview of the maximum, minimum, or hotspots of various result types such as Displacements, Stresses, and Margin of Safety for each combination of critical components and critical load cases in the model. This enables you to define and perform any specific use case for each combination of component and loadcases.

Adding a Loop Results Module

1. In Word mode, navigate to Report/Chapter > Add > Modules > Loop Results. Or, in PPT mode, navigate to Report > Add > Modules > Loop Results.

   
   
   Figure 1.

2. Below are the properties associated with the Loop Results module.

   
   
   Figure 2.

   Note: The Loop Results properties are the same for Word and PPT reports.

   Under the Loop Results module, you can add the following Word report items:

   • Chapter
   • Text
   • Image
   • Table
   • Page Break

   For a PPT report, add a Slide Layout or an Existing Slide under the Loop Results module.

   1. Name: Enter the title of the result loop.
   2. Model: Select the required page or window from the HyperWorks session.
      Note: As results are present in HyperView and Loop Results types are possible only in HyperView, solution displays only those pages or windows that have the HyperView client in the drop-down selection.

   Component Selection

   In loop results, it is necessary to select the components that you want to run and extract results for. You can select the components using the following options.

3. Components: Select components for looping using the standard HyperView component selection option.
4. Sets: Select the component sets for looping. Only sets of pool type User_Set are displayed.
5. Add Displayed Elements: Select this checkbox to add the entities currently displayed in the graphics area as a group.

   Load Case Selection

6. Choose Loadcase: Select the load cases to be used for looping. By default, Active is selected.

   Exclude and Hide Entities

7. Exclude and Hide Entity Sets: Select the element sets that you want to be excluded from results looping and to be hidden from the graphics area while capturing the images.
   Note: Only sets of pool type User_Set are displayed here.

   Exclude Entities

8. Exclude Element Sets: Select the element sets in the model to be excluded from the looping.
   Note:

   • These element sets will not be hidden from the graphics area while capturing images.
   • Only sets of pool type User_Set are displayed here.
9. Number of Layers: Select number of layers of adjacent elements to be excluded in addition to the element sets selected above.

   Advanced Settings

10. Start Loop With: Specify whether the loop is to be started with a component or load case.
    Note: The columns and the rows in the Interactive Result Table that come up on loop execution would also be interchanged based on this selected option.
11. Overview of each Load Case: Select this checkbox to view the overview for each load case in the result. Complete overview takes the current set view of the model on the selected page/window. Results are shown without the scale factors.
12. Export: Export the Loop Results to Word or PPT.
    Below are the options available in the Export settings:

    • All: All of the results are exported.
    • Above: Results above the defined threshold value are exported.
    • Below: Results below the defined threshold values are exported.
    • Equal to: Results equal to the defined threshold value are exported.
    • Critical: Results that are above the red limit defined in threshold user interface are exported. This option is shown only when the thresholds are defined.
    • Overview: The overview results for each load case are exported. This option is shown only when the overview for each load case option is selected.
13. Loop Over Hotspots: Loop over hotspots detected by Report. You have to enable additional features in Image to use this feature.
14. Split Table: Split the interactive result table into smaller tables based on the maximum rows and columns specified.
