Overview

Set of post-processing utilities for HyperMesh.

Screenshot Looper

Screenshot Looper generates screenshots by looping over all selected subcases and plotcontrols and saving them in user-defined folder.

The auto function (invoked by clicking on the lightning satellite icon) is a fully automatic tool designed as a demonstrator. It creates a contour and a vector displacement plotcontrol, then loops over all available subcases and the generated displacement plotcontrols and saves the screenshots in a user-defined folder.

Deformed Shape

Deformed Shape changes the position of selected nodes based on the selected deformed plotcontrol. It considers the scale factor defined on the plotcontrol. The deformation is saved as morph shapes.

When entering the Deformed Shape context, the deformed plotcontrol is automatically disabled to allow entity selection.

Apply Result

Apply Result provides the functionality of the legacy Post > apply result panel, i.e. it can apply the result's analysis data to selected entities of the model, or create loads from the analysis data. It supports only the legacy HyperMesh Result (*.res) files.

Usage/Installation Instructions
