Hyperview - Element Force Vector Plot
Hi all,
I'm trying to extract fastener loads from a model using a vector plot in HyperView, but unable to plot the vectors for some reason. The model is created in HyperMesh and run in OptiStruct. I have a very simple model, with a 3D mesh body with a rod connected via RBE2 (SPC and force load applied to the model).
I open the model and results in HyperView and can create contour plots with no problem. I also created a displacement vector plot without issue. However when I try to create a vector plot of element forces for the rod element, I see no results (legend just shows "N/A"). I have checked and element force output is requested in the model. What am I doing wrong??? Any input would be appreciated! Thanks.

Hi Nick,
Can you verify the following points :
-did you load your solver deck (.fem file) as the model?
-did you use the Advanced option of the Result-Math Template?
If you follow these two recommendations, you will be able to plot vectors on your model.
Can you try and come back to us?
thanks and Regards
Julien
