Hi everybody,
Hypermesh/Optistruct/Hyperview v2025.1
Due to limitation on my computer wrt. the size of the analyzed model, I have extracted the requested Optistruct results from my h3d files (thanks to Compose), exported to csv (still Compose), converted to hwascii (Python script… but quite sure Compose should have done it!), and made an enveloppe analysis to get min/max strain, with associated subcase.
The hwascii file for the enveloppe looks like this:
ALTAIR ASCII FILE
$SUBCASE = 1 "enveloppe strain"
$BINDING = ELEMENT
$COLUMN_INFO = ENTITY_ID
$RESULT_TYPE = in_plane_P1_env_max(s), Loadcase_ID_max(s), in_plane_P2_env_min(s), Loadcase_ID_min(s)
133253.0 6.924e-05 1405 -3.493e-05 1400
133254.0 8.104e-05 1400 -8.885e-05 1405
133255.0 6.795e-05 1405 -4.721e-05 1405
133256.0 0.00015336 1400 -0.00018453 1405
133257.0 5.948e-05 1405 -3.756e-05 1405
133258.0 3.711e-05 1400 -3.415e-05 1405
133259.0 2.933e-05 2100 -3.638e-05 2100
So four results, as scalars, max enveloppe strain, associated subcase, min enveloppe strain, associated subcase.
No problem for plotting results in Hyperview, everything works well, except… that the subcase is plotted as a scalar for both strains and subcases…. logical…
Is there a way to have the subcase map plotted as when we create an enveloppe derived loadcase in HV and plot it with the "enveloppe trace plot" option activated as "subcase"? Meaning, one color per subcase associated to an active numerical value, and not a continuous color range. My subcase ID's run from 1000 to 9000, split in "thousand family" group, and with only some values selected in each range (example: 1010, 1020, 2010, 2030,4010, 5020…)
In the example lines above, I would like to have only three colors, one for subcase 1400 , one for 1405 and one for 2100… without all colors ranking from 1405 to 2100!
(and already tried to create a DLC enveloppe based on the hwascii files, it takes quite a long time also…)
