Stress mapping for explicit

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am performing usability of Hypercrash feature result mapper.
For that I first performed the tube bending simulation according to Hyperform tutorial and generated
.STA file to use in mapping in Hypercrash.

I successfully mapped the results and exported the file to do gravity loading analysis in Radioss.
But when I perform the gravity analysis the solver shows an error saying 'NPG MUST BE SET
ACCORDING TO THE FORMULATION WHICH IS USED IN THE SHELL PROPERTY'

Now in the .STA file NPG=4 according to that I set IShell = 24 in property card. But still, it shows the same error
.
I also changed NPG=1 and Ishell=4, which should correspond to each other according to the
reference manual. But it does not work.

Here I have attached all the required files with .out file showing the error.

Could you please help me solving this issue?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

This seems to be some issue with the .sta file.

How did you generate the .sta file for this run?. Please go through http://altairuniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/StateFile_1200.pdf which shows creating .sta in RADIOSS run.

Hi,

I did Hyerform tutorial HF-3120 for the tube bending. Instead of 3 bends shown in the tutorial, I analysed only 1 bend and generated tube_Bending_0001.sta file and with result mapper exported Mapped.sta file.

Hi George,

As per your suggestion, I went through result mapper in HC help.

To save the projected stamping results I chose Export results tab. But I can not find the options in this tab which are explained in the help.

Where can I find this options?

Also according to Tips and Tricks page, I exported .sta file as Standalone and removed all nodes and element information from 0000.rad file but still I get the same error as explained above.

The attached picture shows the Export tab in HC and results mapper help page.
