How to obtain the outer envelop of the movement of the geometry in MotionView transient simulation?

msinghal

I have performed a transient simulation in MotionView and I have the displacement v/s time data for some of the points on the geometry. What I want is the following:

Because of the movement of the geometry, the Geometry will create an outer envelop of the points. This outer envelop will contain all the points that this geometry will create during its motion. I want to obtain this outer envelop. How can i obtain this outer envelop of the points that the motion of the geometry will create.

Hello Mohit - From HyperView, you can export the "Deformed Results" for the geometry as STL (File > Export > Solver Deck) for various timesteps. This would give you the envelop for the entire geometry. An STL would have to be exported for each time step you desire.

The other alternate is, if you have outputs on some points as you mentioned, it can be plotted in HyperGraph and exported as a CSV or other formats available.
