Post-Processing Part 5

The document provides tutorials and videos for post-processing simulations in HyperWorks. It recommends tutorials for animation controls, controlling views, analyzing results through contouring, deformations, vectors, and queries. Videos are recommended for learning HyperView and results processing. Example post-processing steps are outlined for a student racing car project, showing contour plots of displacements and stresses under bending, shear, and torsion loads. The maximum displacements under each load case are reported. A torsion loadstep plot is shown, questioning if any errors are present.

The results shown below are just “conceptual”. The detailed eva aluation of the car frames performance (i.e. displacements and
stresses) is deliberately left to the “reader” of this tutorial.

Bending Loadstep

The above images show the bending loadstep contoured with the magnitude of displacements (in mm). Displacements are scaled
by factor 50. Undeformed structure is displayed in gray.

In order to display element stresses, one needs to recall the de


efinition and location of the stress recovery points of the CBAR
element.

Of course, the orientation of the CBAR element now determines whether for instance recovery point C experiences tension or
bending. Furthermore, it is important to realize that the stress value
v at the node of consideration (for instance node A), is then
used to contour the entire element!

Shear Loadstep

The images above show the sear loadstep contoured with the magnitude
m of displacements (in mm) and scaled by a factor 50.

Quiz: Torsion Loadstep. Do You See Any Errors In Here?

Torsion load case: Displacements scaled by a factor 10.

One lesson to be learned: Not every modeling mistake necessarily causes the FEM program to abort its run. In other words, it is
your responsibility to understand and judge simulation results ...
