I have many components in thousands in this figure with different material properties. How can I remove these lines in hyperview?

As you can see in the picture that all multiple white lines because I have many components which is around 70000. I had to create those many components because I had many material properties and hypermesh doesn't allow us to create multiple materials without its corresponding components. How can I view my contour results within these white lines. 

 

Thank youimage

    Hello,

    I don't understand this statement: " hypermesh doesn't allow us to create multiple materials without its corresponding components".

    What solver are you using? Some explicit solvers have the material and property directly assigned to the component, which is a solver entity.

    However, in other solvers (Optistruct for example) you can directly assign the material and property to the element. You can have only one component if you wish.

    But I am also not sure what you are seeing for "white lines".

    I do not see any distinction in component boundary here in this four panel model

    It could be you actually have entities with no results showing (such as 1ds?)

    Here I am showing with my 1ds displayed which don't have a result for the contoured data type

    What I mean is that while creating different material and property for each element belonging to one component. I could not find a way to do that even with optistruct solver. If it possible can you please tell me how?

    Directly assign the Properties to the elements (not the component).

    This example shows one component with two properties assigned directly to the elements.

    Either use the element entity editor directly or you can use the assign option in properties tool
