visualizing analysis results - Force Vectors

Hey everybody,

I'd like to know if there is a way to display some sort of force vectors to visualize the force flux.

My idea is to run the analysis mode and then being able to display where the actual force 'moves along' the analyzed structure.

This is important for complex structures to have a better understanding of why something might fail. With this in mind I'd be able to design a more evolved Designspace etc.

Thanks for your help,

Asaad

Hi,

In solidthinking Inpire i dont think this option is available.

In Hyperview you can post process results with force vector.Inspire writes .h3d file which you can open it in Hyperview.

See attached screenshot of Hyperview for vector display.

I don't have permission to view your *.jpg... But I was able to find a solution with Hyperview and tensors! I would like to see your uploaded jpg anyway... could you give me rights or send it via pm?

thank you!

Hi,

so I am facing a problem concerning the Principal Tensor directions P1 P2 P3 when it comes to visualization in Hyperview.

What I need is a vector P1+P2+P3 to get the direction of force through the material. Is there any possibility to make some sort of customized Vector visualization?

Thanks in advance!
