Dear Altair Team and Community,
My name is Daniele, and I am currently working with HyperView and an OP2 file generated by MSC Nastran. I’m using the Python API to extract results from specific element types such as CBAR, CBUSH, and CQUAD.
I’m currently using the QueryResultsTool module and would appreciate clarification regarding the query() method in hv.QueryResultsTool().
Specifically, is it possible to filter the query by specific element IDs or element types (e.g., CBUSH) before executing it?
The reason I ask is that querying the entire model leads to long processing times due to the large number of elements (over 1 million) and multiple subcases. While I understand that the returned NumPy array can be filtered afterward, this doesn’t help reduce the initial query time.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance, practical examples, or documentation references that could help optimize this workflow.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Best regards,
Daniele
