Track nodes and write to file

Rahul_P1

Hello,

I want to track the nodes of a model and write the coordinates (x,y,z) over time into a file. Is there a way to do this in Hyperview?

Thanks in advance!

thomyman,

You can use measure, just add a measure group, measure type will be position, select your node and create a curve (uncheck single curve while creating), this will display the coordinates on screen firstly,

This will give you the coordinate value with time on a graph, you can then export this curve to csv etc from HyperGraph , file > export curves, this will be a tabular form of coordinate and time

you can also query the node and find the coordinates at a particular time step,

 

You can also trace the node path using the tracing panel, the white line shows the path followed by the node as time passes,

 

there are several scripts as well to export values from hyperview
just search with keyword export, using hyperview in the product field.
