HyperWorks Desktop Introduction
Getting Started - Running HyperWorks Desktop
WINDOWS
1) From the Start Menu, select All Programs > Altair HyperWorks (version).
2) Select the the application shortcut to run
HyperGraph - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the HyperGraph 2D client loaded.
HyperMesh Desktop - Starts HyperWorks Desktop
HyperMesh - Starts HyperMesh standalone.
HyperView - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the HyperView client loaded.
MotionView - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the MotionView client loaded.
UNIX and LINUX:
1) Launch the system terminal and cd to the directory from which the HyperWorks Desktop
application should be run.
2) At the prompt, enter the full path of the HyperWorks Desktop application start script.
hg - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the HyperGraph 2D client loaded.
hm - Starts HyperMesh standalone.
hmdesktop - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the HyperMesh client loaded.
hv - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the HyperView client loaded.
hw - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the default client loaded.
mview - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the MotionView client loaded. 11

HyperMesh Desktop Introduction
Getting Started - The Start-In Directory
The Start-In Directory or Working Directory is the location from which the
HyperWorks Desktop application is launched.
This directory ("current working directory) defines where certain settings and
configuration files are written by default; file browser will also use this directory as
its default location for browsing for files.
This directory can be changed, thereby changing the location where these files are
written to or read from. This has the benefit of allowing different settings to be
stored in different directories to give control over the HyperWorks Desktop
environment for different projects or use cases.
Changing the Start-in Directory
On Windows, can be changed by editing the "Start in" field on the application
executable or its shortcut.
On Linux, the start-in directory is defined by the directory from which the user runs
the application startup script.

HyperMesh Desktop Introduction
Getting Started - Online Help
HyperWorks Desktop offers comprehensive documentation in the online help.
The Help can be accessed through the menu bar or the use of the h , keyboard
(help documentation is intelligent, opening in the section representing the panel
that the user is actively in)
Help also contains detailed tutorials on many advanced functions.

Contour Plots
Two different ways to create Contour Plots
1) Contour panel:
Contour icon on the Results toolbar
select Results > Plot > Contour from the menu bar
54
-
Copyright 2013 Altair Engineering, Inc. Proprietary and Confidential. All rights reserved.
Contour Plots
1) Contour Panel
Result type: select the result type and component to be contoured.
Tensors (t), vectors (v), and scalar (s)
Layers (if applicable): display a contour for a specified element layer
Use corner data (if applicable): when selected, HyperView displays color bands by
interpolating available corner results within each element. This allows for a
discontinuity of the result distribution across element boundaries to be seen.
This option is only active when corner data is available in the results file
55

Contour Plots
1) Contour Panel
56
Selection: pick entities in graphics area or using the Elements, Components, or
Assemblies input collector. If no selection is made, the contour will be applied to
the displayed entities
Resolved in: select the result coordinate system to be used to contour the results.
Global - transforms to the global system
Elemental - transforms results to the element coordinate system
Analysis - displays the vector and tensor results as they are output from the
solver
User - available when the results file contains a user-defined coordinate system
Use tracking system - If you activate this option, the results will be transformed
and resolved in the activated tracking system

Contour Plots
1) Contour Panel
58
Averaging method (None, Simple, Advanced, Difference)
None no averaging done Simple - tensor and vector components are extracted and the invariants
are computed prior to averaging
Advanced - tensor (or vector) results are transformed into a consistent
system and then each component is averaged separately to obtain an
average tensor (or vector)
Difference - difference between the maximum and minimum corner
results at a node

Averaging method Variation (optional): used to control the nodal averaging calculation
Off - the average results are calculated for all nodes
On - the average results are calculated for only some nodes, depending on the
variation (%) you have defined

Strain Energy Summation using Result Math
Common post processing need is to take element based result and sum the values to find
the part based value
One typical result that this is done with is strain energy
Take strain energy values that are element based and use the Derived Results
Expression Builder to find the part (or component) based value
Same procedure could be applied to any result type that is element based that you would
like to find the part based value of
1) LOAD - The first step is to load the Advanced Result-Math Template into the
session. This is done in the Open Model panel ( ) and selecting the Result-Math
template to Advanced.

Exercise 5a (Manual Page 157): Post Processing a Forced Frequency Response Analysis
File Name and Location: \Model-files\ch5\5a-crank\crank111.op2
Objectives:
Load the file crank111.op2. Animate the model at different frequencies and used the Deformed panel to better
view the deformation.
Create a Contour plot of Complex Results. Create a Measure to visualize how the contour changes at two nodes. Use Result Math to calculate the theoretical maximum vonMises stress from the
Stress tensor.
Create new curves with in the Measure plot which represent the MaxVonMises value for each node.

Measure the X, Y, and Z position of a node or system
For example, a Measure Group was created at each node. Notice how in the
Graphics Area the X, Y, and Z positions are reported. Curves are created for
each Measure Group as well using the X position as the Y axis and time as
