Export data for field-driven Design

Can I create and export a point cloud (density of points corresponds to e.g. stress)? With this point cloud I want to influence certain parameters (wall thicknesses, density and cell size of a lattice).
Alternatively, this could also be done via a component export (e.g. in obj. format) with the texture in the form of the simulation result.

    Hi Julius,

    Can you clarify whether you are asking more about SimSolid, or HyperView?

    Briefly, for SimSolid, you can export stress or other results at certain locations in the model using a feature called Datum Points.  In HyperView- you can list out the data at nodes or elements and query results with the Query results tool to export data.  In Hyperview, you can also built some advanced queries related to how to postprocess that data if you only want stress results above a certain threshold for instance and use it to inform your design.

    Thanks,
