Specify the value to be computed at each hot spot, and then select stress (for bodies with a rigid stress object) or strain.
|
|
|
Enter the distance between hot spots. All nodes that fall within this radius are candidates for the same hot spot. A value of 0.0 considers all nodes to be potential hot spots.
|
|
|
• Threshold - Enter a threshold for hot spots. All spots that meet or exceed this value are considered a hot spot.
• Count - Enter the number of hottest spots to return.
|
|
|
• Absolute - The sign of the value is ignored when sorting hot spots. You would use this option when only the magnitude is important, not the sign or direction (in the case of stress or strain).
• Maximum - Hot spots are ranked from maximum to minimum.
• Minimum - Hot spots are ranked from minimum to maximum.

|
|
• HTML - Saves information to an HTML file viewable in a Web browser. The information is displayed in the dialog box in HTML format.
• Tab Delimited text - Saves information to a text file, with data separated by tab characters. This format is convenient for importing the data into a spreadsheet program.

Optionally, enter the name of the file to which you want to save the information. If no extension is given for the name, a default extension is used depending on the File Format setting (.txt for tab-delimited text and .htm for HTML). Both file formats can be displayed in Adams/PostProcessor (from the File menu, point to Import, and then select Report).
|
|
|
Optionally, enter the time in the analysis to begin checking for hot spots. The default is the beginning of the analysis.
|
|
|
Optionally, enter the time in the analysis to stop checking for hot spots. The default is the end of the analysis.
|
|
|
Enter the font size of the information that is displayed in the report section of the dialog box. You can change the font size before or after the data is displayed.
