    Did you know you could use HMPOST to view results directly in Hypermesh? That way you have your model information directly available.

    Thanks Jason, I do know this possibility, but I want to add in a note the numerical value ofthe thickness of different components. It would obtain as a legend with: component and thickness.

    In some cases, thickness is available in the result file as a datatype that can be contoured.

    Or if you load input deck as model with result math template=advanced, HV reads in the thickness info from the property card as a result table. You can create a derived result out of it that can be contoured. 

    Once you have contoured the result, you can use the expression {entity.contour_val} in the note to extract the value.
