Hyperview randomly assigns colors to components?

Hello,

I am wondering why HyperView assign random colors to my components. Is there a way to fix the colors so I don't have to change them every time when I open the results in HyperMesh? I create my model in Hypermesh where I assign the colors I want, then I solve with Radioss and post process in HyperView.

Below a capture of the colors in HyperMesh and HyperView. Some components are not exported to the solver deck and thus are missing but I doubt that is the issue.

Thank you for your help!

    The colour information you set in HM is stored only as HM comment data in the input deck, RADIOSS itself does not have any colour information in its input and therefore RADIOSS animation files (A001 etc) do not contain any colour information, and if that is all HV has available, it just assigns colours on import in a set order. If you want to retain your colours from HM in HV, you can read the 0000.rad file as 'model' as here, and read your A001 only as 'result', this should work for you.
