How can I generate earing profile graph (from deep-drawing simulation done via radioss incremental) in hyperview?
Here is the session. The blank is made intentionally rectangular to clearly see height variation of the deep-drawn product.

Yes. You can check the following image.
I think you could achieve this if you use the Measure Tool in HyperView, and using the 'Node Path' option, by selecting all the nodes in the cup border.
You can select a path of nodes, and HV can plot later a curve with the "height".
But as height is not exactly a solver result, you will probably need to use 'Displacement' in Y (or Z) direction to get something similar to what you need.
You could even try to create a 'Tracking System' and contour your result using this tracking system, so that the values will be referenced in this "local" system.

can you add some pictures and a more detailed description of what you want to acomplish?

I'm trying to study earing defect of deep-drawing process. It is height variation (measured from the bottom) at the edge of a deep-drawn product. It should be minimized as much as possible to reduce wastage.
In order to accomplish the aforesaid study I need to obtain rolling direction versus cup height graph (earing profile).
Here is the displacement contour, where the Die, Punch and Binder are hidden for visual clarity.

but do you have an example image of the graph you want to plot?

Okay. Thank you very much. It does provide the intended curve.
Just one more thing, how can I compartmentalize the blank into different rolling directions (angles like 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90...degrees)?
