Hotspot Finder
Use the Hotspot Finder tool to find critical regions of your model based on a plotted result, filter the entities based on selection set, threshold values, minimum separation, and load cases.
- Open a model file and expand the 3D viewer.
-
Click Show/Hide Browser .
The Browser window displays the model parts of a 3D model.
-
Click Hotspots .
The Hotspots and the Result Browser panes are displayed.
-
In the Result Browser select the required simulation
result, Run, Loadcase, and
Result Type to calculate hotspots,.
-
Click Calculate in the hotspots pane.
The Calculate Hotspots window displays the chosen Result Details.
-
Enter a Name for the hotspot.
The Result Details displays, the active contour selected in the Result Browser.
-
Define Parameters to calculate hotspots for the selected result
details.
- Result Value Filter is a predefined filter for calculating hotspots on the selected contour.
- Threshold is a contour value to calculate hotspots.
- Hotspot Separation is the distance or tolerance between the hotspots.
- Number of Hotspots is the top number of hotspots to be calculated at the specified position of a model.
-
Click Run to calculate hotspots for the selected results and the
specified parameters.
A list of model parts with the hotspot value is displayed in the browser pane and on the model.
-
Use the arrow keys to view the hotspot values occurred on each
part.
- To recalculate hotspots, click Run. to modify Parameters and click
