Altair HyperLife Crack Growth 2025 Release Notes

• Updates to crack growth evaluation via batch evaluation and event group support.
• Event contribution XML is now output for additional results in post-processing.

Batch evaluation Support

Support for HyperLife Crack Growth evaluation in batch. The run setup XML housing the hotspot XML is utilized as batch input for evaluation. Batch evaluation is supported on both Windows and Linux.

Support of Nested Events

HyperLife LoadMap introduces “Event Groups” for the Crack Growth profile to define combination of events within events. Repeats can be applied to the events and the event groups to obtain the required sequence of loading in the duty cycle. Event Groups support is also extended to HyperLife LoadMap XML.

Support of Event Contribution

For the duty cycle assigned to the crack growth evaluation, the percentage contribution of each event to the crack growth history are output as results to the run directory. An event summary CSV is output for each evaluated hotspot if more than one hotspot is chosen for evaluation.

Support of Min and Max Stress in the Duty Cycle

The maximum and minimum stress from the entire stress history of the duty cycle is output via a CSV, post crack growth evaluation.

• An application error when trying to close a load history plot has been resolved.

The following issues will be addressed in the upcoming release:

• Right click menu options Apply value to all events and Apply value to current event from LoadMap event creation are not working as intended; the issue will be fixed in the upcoming release.
