Composite Optimization of a Formula-Student-Monocoque

Altair Forum User

Hi, I am following your tutorial “Composite Optimization with OptiStruct 11.0 on the example of a Formula-Student-Monocoque” but when I try to open a h3h file in hyperview after performing analysis of the monocoque I get the following error, I don’t understand what I am doing I have followed the instructions exactly:

Any help would be great! Thanks, Neel Chudasama

Did you try to click on clear from message log.I dont see any error on message log.

Altair Forum User

No I didn't but this is what kept popping up when I tried to follow instructions and open a h3d file in hyperview. Even if i ignored this message log nothing seemed o happen when I continued with the instructions.

Rahul Rajan_21763

This was a bug reported earlier which has been fixed in hwdesktop12.0.115_hotfix update.Please try opening file with latest or 12.0.115 hotfix.

Rahul Rajan_21763

From Screenshot which you shared says file generated in 14.0. Please check graphic driver detail & update it.

If still face this issue please share relevant files with us.

Altair Forum User

Sorry how do I check graphic driver detail and update it?

Rahul Rajan_21763

Enter DXDIAG in start programs.

Altair Forum User

Even after updating my graphic driver detail as you said and following the instructions again I still get the same error?

Altair Forum User

I have sent the relevant files to your dropbox.

Rahul Rajan_21763

Thanks for sharing this information.It seems you are using windows 10 OS.If you have access to 14.0.120 desktop then check same at your end.If no then share result file to me.

Windows 10 support is from Hyperworks Desktop 14.0.120 onwards.

Altair Forum User

I do have Release: 14.0.120 of hyperwork

Altair Forum User

Hi, what should I do next ?

Altair Forum User

Rahul, Is it possible to talk to you directly over the phone ? It may make the whole process quicker. thanks

Rahul Rajan_21763

you try on 14.0120 desktop & sharing files through dropbox is also fine.

Altair Forum User

I dont understand what you mean Rahul I have tried on 14.0120 desktop as I have the version 14.0120 hyperworks on my laptop but it still won't work. So what should I do?

Rahul Rajan_21763

Please share Result file with us & i will check on my machine.

Altair Forum User

I have shared the Result file in your dropbox is this the correct one?

Rahul Rajan_21763

You have shared Doc file which contains graphic driver details.Please share .fem & .h3d file.

Altair Forum User

Oh sorry! I have shared those files with you.

Rahul Rajan_21763

Thanks for sharing files.I able to post process h3d file in my machine without any problem.Please post process some other h3d files in HV just to cross check.

I want to cross check once again that whether you have student edition or full version?I checked this in full version.

Altair Forum User

I have the student edition of hyperworks, does that make a difference?

Rahul Rajan_21763

I able to post process same file in Student edition HV also. I recommend you to check with other H3d file in HV. If everything dont work then just reinstall Student edition once again and check.

Altair Forum User

Ok I shall try and reinstall the student version again as it doesnt seem to work with other h3d files

Altair Forum User

Hi Rahul I have uninstalled and reinstalled hyperworks and it seems to be able to load the h3d file but the message log still comes up with a warning? and when I follow the instructions of the tutorial further and click on the contour button and try to look at results type only three options are available? Composite stresses or the other options which are shown in the tutorial do not come up. I have attached the relevant screenshots in your dropbox.

Altair Forum User

Composite stresses or the other options which are shown in the tutorial do not come up.

Hi,

Please include CFAILURE card in your model setup. Since 13.0 all output control to results for composite is done through CFAILURE.

Altair Forum User

Hi Prakash I included the CFAILURE card as you said but still only three options come up?

Altair Forum User

I did this before I ran the analysis as well.

Altair Forum User

Neelc14,

Can you share the model file?

Altair Forum User

Sure, this is the h3d file.

Unable to find an attachment - read this blog

Altair Forum User

Altair Forum User

Hi Neelc14,

Please activate the Output results option for all the plies and try again. see the image for reference.
