_des.h3d file

A compressed binary file, containing both model and result data. It can be used to post-process results in HyperView or when using the HyperView Player.

File Creation

The _des.h3d file is created when the H3D format is chosen (I/O Option OUTPUT), and an optimization run is performed.

File Contents

The _des.h3d file contains node and element definitions in addition to the following results.

Definitions

Result
Description
Density
Density results from topology optimizations.
Output is controlled by the I/O Option DENSRES.
Shape
Shape results from topography or shape optimizations.
Output is controlled by the I/O Option DENSRES.
Thickness
Thickness results from size and topology optimizations.
Output is controlled by the I/O Option DENSRES.
Material Type
Material type results from multiple material topology optimizations.
Output is controlled by the I/O Option DENSRES. 1

Comments

  1. The material type would be shown as 0, if the density of each material is less than 0.3.
