Post-Processing
Once the solution is completed by the MBD solver, the solver generates different types of output files that can be used to view animation and plots.
The following table provides information on the output files generated by MotionSolve and ADAMS and the relevant HyperWorks Desktop clients which can be used to visualize results:
| Solver Type | Output File Type | Description | HWD Client |
|---|---|---|---|
| MotionSolve | MRF | Multibody result file. Contains animations and plot results. | HyperView* HyperGraph |
| H3D | Contains animation results | HyperView | |
| ABF | Altair Binary File. | HyperGraph | |
| PLT | Plot file. Contains plot results. | HyperGraph | |
| ADAMS | GRA | Animation results. | HyperView |
| RES | Animation and plot results. | HyperView** HyperGraph |
|
| REQ | Plot file related to requests. | HyperGraph | |
| *Use with MAF as a model file in HyperView. | |||
| **Use GRA as a model file in HyperView. | |||
