Why can't I display the updated rigid bodies in Hyperview?

Hello, 
Sometimes, when in Hypermesh I add new rigid bodies within a pre-existing dedicated component, these are not displayed in Hyperview. 
I have tried doing an element update in Hypermesh, but this practice does not solve the problem. The only way is to redo both new and existing rigids in the file. 
How can I solve this visualization problem without having to redo all the rigid bodies?

    Hello,

    Can you please give some more details. 

    What do you mean adding new rigid bodies. Is this just to the model file or are you running a new analysis?

    What solver are you using?

    Can you share a model or screen grab?

    I would also recommend using a newer version and see if that works for you.

    I try to explain myself better.

    PICTURE 1
    In the image on the left, you can see 2 rigid bodies in HyperCrash (A and B). Then, I opened my        model in HyperMesh, made the component "Rigid body" current  and I created another rigid body C between the rigids A and B. You can see the updated model on the right.

    I ran the simulation using the Radioss solver.

    PICTURE 2
    In the image on the left, you can see the first model rigid bodies (A and B) in HyperView. In the image on the right, you can note that the rigid body C, on the other hand, is not displayed.

    However, I cannot use newer version.

    Are you able to share an example model?

    What element type are you using for C?

    Are you loading the model file and results or just results file into Hyperview?

    Hi,

    Did you guys find a solution for this? A may have the same problem... All my RBE2 rigid elements are active in hyperwork and export in the solveur, but they disappear for the post processing in hyperview...

    Best,

    Axel
