Dear forum members!

 

Is it possible to visualize the thickness of shell elements in HyperView? I did not find a method about this topic in this forum.

 

I am modeling a composite part and it would be useful to see the strains and stresses in different layers at the same time. The thickness visualization (just like in HyperMesh) would be a big help for me.

Thanks for the answers in advance!

    Thanks for the answer! I felt myself stupid that I could not find a function for this purpose but it really did not exist anyway.

    From my FE software I build *.hwascii file from thickness distribution. So I can visualize thickness card within Hyperview, as another results code.

    Type 'hwascii' within search page of Hyperworks help.
