Loop through loadcases and components to extract results and images for contours and
notes.
This module allows you to capture the overview of the maximum, minimum, or hotspots of various
result types such as Displacements, Stresses, and Margin of Safety for each
combination of critical components and critical load cases in the model. This
enables you to define and perform any specific use case for each combination of
component and loadcases.
Adding a Loop Results Module
From the Report Ribbon, Add Modules tool group, click and select Loop Results
module.
Note: This module is available for both Document and Presentation
modes.
Below are the properties associated with the Loop Results module: Figure 1.
Note: The Loop Results properties are the same for Document and
Presentation reports.
Under the Loop Results module, you can add
the following Document report items:
Chapter
Text
Image
Table
Page Break
Note: For images inside the loop, the image caption can use some variables
from HyperView. Figure 2.
The supported keywords are $page, $window, $loadcase,
$loadstep, $group, $component, $datacomponent, $datatype, $timestep,
$maxval, $maxid, $minval, $minid, $subcaselabel, $subcase, $componentid,
$binding, $count, $indexi, $indexj, $subcaseid, $loadcaseid,
$loadstepid, $resultvalue and $datalayer.
For a
Presentation report, add a Slide Layout or an Existing Slide under the Loop
Results module.
Name
Enter the title of the result loop.
Model
Select the required page or window from the HyperWorks session.

Note: The columns and the
rows in the Interactive Result Table that come up
on loop execution would also be interchanged based
on this selected option.
Overview of each Load Case
Select this checkbox to view the overview for each
load case in the result. Complete overview takes the
