Animation dashboard -> Hot Spots tab

Lets you display hot spots in your Adams/Durability animation. Learn more about hot spots.


For the option:	Do the following:
Display Hotspots	Select to display the hot spots in your animation.
Sort Order	Specify one of the following sorting options: • 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 the case of stress or strain). • Maximum - Hot spots are ranked from maximum to minimum. • Minimum - Hot spots are ranked from minimum to maximum.
Filter/Value	Select the type and number of hot spots to display: • Node Count - Enter the number of top hot spots to display. • Threshold - Display only those hot spots that meet or exceed this value. • Percentage - Specify the number of hot spots to display as a percentage.
Radius	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.
Graphics Label Contents	Select the display of hot spot labels: • Rank - Displays the sorting order of each hot spot. • Value - Displays the value of each hot spot. • Frame - Displays the frame when the value occurred. • Node ID - Displays the node ID for that hot spot. Notes: • If you do not select any of these options, Adams/PostProcessor only displays a cross hair at each hot-spot location. • The color of the hot-spot graphics is the same as the flexible body color. • Hot-spot graphics can be hidden by other graphics. For better viewing of hot spot graphics try rotating the display, making the flexible body transparent, or displaying only one body at a time using the Component display feature in the Animation tab.
