How to view all CPRESS Output at the same time in HV ?

Altair Forum User

HV gives option for viewing each CPRESS ( for each interaction in abaqus ) individually. But i want to view all CPRESS output at the same time (like viewing in abaqus). How to do that ?

Hi,

 

Do you want to see the contour values with respect to the increment?

 

in such case, change the legend type to Dynamic scale. 

 

In contour panel>> Edit legend>> change legend type to Dynamic scale and click OK.

 

Now,play the animation.

No. My doubt is,

 

I have 3 different contact areas (3 Slaves + 3 Masters in three different locations) in a given assembly at a time.

 

I solve it in abaqus. and view in HV.

 

While viewing contact stress results,  HV gives option as

 

1.CPRESS ( Surface 1 & 2)

2.CPRESS ( Surface 3 & 4)

3.CPRESS ( Surface 5 & 6)

 

That means i can view only one contact stress distribution from the drop down menu at the given time.

 

But in abaqus using single card CPRESS i can view all three distribution at the same time.

 

I want to view the same way (all three distribution in a single contour plot) in HV.

You should be able to do this in 13.0, which version are you using?

Hi Rahul,

 

I have only access to hyperworks 12 in my Lab.

 

Will the feature be available in Hyperworks 13 student edition. (if yes will i be able to open a model with more than 10000 nodes in hyperview student edition ?).

The student edition is limited to 10,000 nodes.
