Figure 5.

Basic

Model

Select the required page or window from the session.

Output Type

Select the image output format.

For HyperView and MediaView, PNG, JPG, GIF and H3D formats are supported in Document mode.

For HyperView, AVI format is also supported in Presentation mode.
Note: H3D preview is not available on LibreOffice 5.0.

Crop Image

Checkbox option to crop an image.

Views

Best View

To allow report to alter the onscreen model orientation for capturing images.

View Mode

Select one best view mode for image capture.
Note: These best view options are same as the Hotspot Finder best view options HyperView.

The valid best view options are as follows:

Global View

Displays all hotspots simultaneously and the entire model in isometric view.

Global components

Displays all hotspots and their parent components together, with everything else transparent in isometric view.

Global regions

Displays all hotspots and elements within a region size attached to the hotspot entities, with everything else transparent in isometric view.

Global spheres

Displays all of the hotspots and elements within a sphere around the hotspot entities, with everything else transparent in isometric view.

Selection transparency

Displays the hotspot with only the current onscreen entities visible in isometric view, everything else in the model will be shown in transparency.

Selection Isolate

Displays the hotspot with only its parent component/ set visible in a view normal to the current orientation of the element, everything else in the model is hidden.

Local Entity Zoom

Displays the hotspot with only its parent component visible in a zoomed view normal to the current orientation of the element, everything else in the model is hidden. This is a zoomed in version of Isolate component view mode.

Local Contour

Displays only one hotspot with the entire model visible in a view normal to the current orientation of the element. This is a localized version of the global location view mode.

Local transparency

Displays one hotspot on the current handle with the spherical region around entity visible, in a view normal to the current orientation of the element. This is a single view version of Global spheres view mode.

All other best view modes listed are nothing but standard model views.
Notes
Create Note

Checkbox option to create notes in the images. This activates other note creation options.

Note Location

Select the location for the notes to be created. Supported note locations are:

Maximum of Contour: Notes are created where the maximum contour value is seen in an entity.

Minimum of Contour: Notes are created where the minimum contour value is seen in an entity.

Hotspots of Contour: Notes are created at hotspots of an entity. There are a few options that are required to capture the hotspot values. They are listed below.

Note format

Set the note format to be used for the notes created at the selected locations.
Figure 6.

Note: This dialog is similar to HyperView Notes property area. Here you can set the note text and all the formatting related settings.
HyperView
Hide Local Systems

Select this checkbox to hide all of the local coordinate systems from being included in the report images.

Hide Model Info Note

Select this checkbox to hide the model information note from the report images.

Auto Fit Model

Select this option to auto fit the model. If the Best View option is selected, then Auto Fit is automatically applied to the model.
Note: If Best View is enabled, the auto fit is applied to the model even though the Auto Fit option is not enabled. Hence, when you select the Best View option, the Auto Fit option is disabled in the panel.

Legend File

Specify the legend file to be used to update the contour legend. A file selection option is enabled once the box is checked.

Set Dynamic Legend

Specify if the legend type is to be set to the Dynamic scale. If selected, the legend of the contour is automatically updated for only Displayed entities. This option is helpful when an image is looped over some result type and if the legend of the contour is to be dynamically updated for each displayed component considered under looping.

Capture Area

Select the image capture area.

Legend and Graphic Area: The Legend and Graphics area are both captured.

Graphics Area: Only the graphics area is captured.

Legend Only: Only the contour legend is captured
Advanced

When an image entity is added under a Loop Results module, additional results processing properties are activated. They are listed below.
To utilize the advanced options, you have to select components and loadcases for the Loop Results module first.
Figure 7.
Threshold

Define the Fail and Warn limits for the results looping.

Fail and Warn limits are suggested automatically based on the contour values of the applied results. You can edit them as well.
Figure 8.

Once executed, a results table with the color codes is added to the report.

Red for Fail

Yellow for Warn

Green for Safe

Figure 9.

Scale Results

Scale contour results for looping.
Figure 10.

Scale factor is set to one by default; you can edit them as well.

Once executed, a result table with the scaled results with the scale factor is added to the report.
