hotspots filter
Allows you to filter the hotspots for display.
Format:
hotspots filter |
|---|
animation_name = | Existing animation |
type = | count, threshold, percentage |
value = | real |
sort = | minimum, maximum, absolute |
radius = | real |
Example:
hotspots filter & | |
|---|
animation_name = | animation_1 & |
type = | threshold value = 29 & |
sort = | maximum& |
radius = | 0.8 |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
Animation_name | Existing Animation Name | Specifies the name of an existing animation in which the hotspots are to be filtered. |
Type | Count, Threshold, Percentage | Selects the type of hot spots to be displayed |
Value | Real | Selects the value of hot spots to be displayed |
Sort | Minimum, Maximum, Absolute | Specifies the sorting option |
Radius | Real | Enters the distance between hot spots |
Extended Definition:
1. Hot spots are locations of high stress or strain on a flexible body or rigid stress object. You can easily locate and view hot-spot information during animation displays in the Adams PostProcessor. When the Adams Durability plugin is loaded, a Hot Spots tab is available on the Adams PostProcessor dashboard for Animation displays. This tab allows you to define the hot spots and control their display.
Hot-spot information is derived from the data that is generated and cached for a flexible body (or rigid stress object) during contour animations. This allows the display and control of hot-spot information to be completely interactive.
Hot spot visualization is currently supported for durability-type contours, such as stress, strain, or fatigue. Deformations are not supported.
2. Hotspots could be of the following types:
■Count - Enter the number of top hot spots to be displayed.
■Threshold - Display only those hot spots that meet or exceed this value.
■Percentage - Specify the number of hot spots to be displayed as a percentage
3. Specify one of the following sorting options for the sort parameter:
■Absolute - The sign of the value is ignored when sorting hot spots. You would use this option when only the magnitude is important and not the sign or direction (in case of stress or strain).
■Maximum - Hot spots are ranked from maximum to minimum.
■Minimum - Hot spots are ranked from minimum to maximum.
4. All nodes that fall within the radius specified by the radius parameter are candidates for the same hot spot. A value of 0.0 considers all nodes to be potential hot spots.
