HS-1660: Extract Hotspots with HyperView Model

In this step, you will perform a numerical analysis to obtain the result file required in the HyperView model setup phase.

1. Launch HyperWorks, set Profile to OptiStruct, and click Create Session.
2. Open the plate.hm file from your working directory.
3. From the Analyze ribbon, Run group, click the Run OptiStruct Solver satelite tool.
4. From the panel, define the following parameters and click OptiStruct.
   1. In the Export File dialog, save the file as plate.fem.
      The Solver Export Options dialog opens.
   2. In the Solver Export Options dialog, click Export.
   OptiStruct opens.
5. In OptiStruct, click Run.
   The plate.fem - Altair Compute Console Solver View dialog opens.
6. Once the job is completed, close the plate.fem - Altair Compute Console Solver View dialog and OptiStruct.

In this step, you will import input variables from HyperWorks to HyperStudy.

1. From the menu bar, click File > Export and select HyperStudy.
   The HyperStudy Export dialog opens.
2. In the HyperStudy Export dialog, define the following parameters and click Export.
   1. For Study Name, enter plate.
   2. For Study Path, browse to your working directory.
   3. Enable the Launch HyperStudy checkbox.
   The Model Parameters dialog opens.
3. In the Model Parameters dialog, add variables as shown in Figure 1 and click OK.

   
   
   Figure 1.

   HyperStudy launches with the HyperWorks model.
4. In HyperStudy, go to the Definition > Test Models step and click Run Definition.

In this step, you will query hotspots in HyperView and prepare the session file.

1. From the Directory, right-click the plate.h3d file and select Open with > HyperView.
   HyperView opens.
2. From the Results tab, Plot group, click the Contour tool.
3. From the panel, select Element Stresses (2D & 3D) (t) for the Result type and click Apply.
4. From the Results tab, Query group, click the Hotspot tool.
5. From the guide bar, click .
   The Hotspot Finder dialog opens.
6. In the Hotspot Finder dialog, query shell hotspot.
   1. For Label, enter Shell.
   2. For Selection, verify Components is selected.
   3. In the modeling window, select the Shell component.
   4. For Result Value Filter, verify Greater than is selected and enter 1.e+1
   5. For Number of Hotspots, verify 3 is entered.
   6. Click Find Hotspot.
   7. Click Save.

   
   
   Figure 2.

7. Query Patch1 hotspot by repeating step 6.
   1. For Label, replace Shell with Patch1.
   2. In the modeling window, select the Patch1 component.

   
   
   Figure 3.

8. Query Patch2 hotspot by repeating step 6.
   1. For Label, replace Shell with enter Patch2.
   2. In the modeling window, select the Patch2 component.

   
   
   Figure 4.

9. Close the Hotspot Finder dialog.
10. Save the session file, plate.mvw, in the working directory.

In this step, you will setup a HyperView model

1. From the Directory in HyperStudy, drag-and-drop the plate.mvw file into the Define Models area.

   
   
   Figure 5.

2. Click Import Variables.
3. In the Define Models area, click Model Resources.
   The Model Resources dialog opens.
4. In the Model Resources dialog, define a model dependency that references the result file from m_1 directory, plate.h3d to be used as an input for the HyperView model.
   1. Select Model 2 (m_2).
   2. Click Resource Assistant > Add File.
   3. In the Select File dialog, navigate to the m_1 directory and add the plate.h3d file.
   4. Set the plate.h3d operation to Copy.

   
   
   Figure 6.

5. Close the Model Resources dialog.
6. Go to the Test Models step and click Run Definition.
7. In the Define Output Responses step, review the hotspot responses.
