Python API - Create a derivative result

Hi,

Is it possible to create a derivative result using the Python API in HV ?

I have a model created using HyperMesh and calculated using Optistruct.
I'd like to manipulate results to create a set of elements IDs where a Von Mises stress jump is present (an element with a stress greater than 10% of the stress value of his neighbours) in first place, and then, exclude the values of these elements from the legend.

Thanks

    hello @Pierre_20718 ,

    Derived Results in HyperView are not implemented yet with Python.

    That said, I see a couple of options here:

    Either you save a flexible Report with your Derived Result of interest, then you can load again this Flexible Report with any OptiStruct result including the relevant datatype, and you can contour your Expression as any regular contour. All of it will be supported in Python.

    Or you could also stay in HyperMesh environment as we re-introduced post-processing capabilities in HyperMesh, and use Certification for Advanced Math computations:

    Hope that helps,
