Product information

2D & 3D Plotting and Data Analysis

Altair HyperGraph is a powerful data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many popular file formats. Its intuitive interface and sophisticated math engine make it easy to process even the most complex mathematical expressions. HyperGraph combines these features with high-quality presentation output and customization capabilities to create a complete data analysis system for any organization.

1. Benefits

HyperGraph provides design, test, and engineering professionals with an intuitive plotting and data analysis package:

2D & 3D plotting environment: Explore your data in xy-, complex- or polar plots and bar charts; use Altair HyperGraph3D for three-dimensional line and surface plotting.
Plotting huge amounts of data: Retrieve fully labeled plots from data files based on metadata and channel information with HyperGraph’s advanced plotting options.
Summary Tables: Conditionally formatted summary tables provide an effective way to identify critical key performance indicators for sessions with multiple plots and pages.
Accelerate repetitive plot generation: Store reports over several windows and pages and reuse them for model variations and iterations.
Browser driven navigation: Adjust one or multiple plots at a time or do result math via context sensitive menu options.
Marker tracking: Track markers from a video and derive displacement over time curves.
Math function library: Add user-defined math functions to Altair’s large math library.
Comparison of test and simulation results: Compare sets of test and simulation data in a highly automated way.
Unit Scaling: HyperGraph supports automated unit scaling based on result file meta data.
Customize the interface: Modify interface and tools to fit any engineering environment.

2. Improve Productivity

2.1.Improve Productivity

Reports: Automate the generation and presentation of standard plots and tables, compare results and perform correlation studies using the “Report: Overlay” option.
Plot macros: Use plot macros to capture and replay often-used mathematical curves.
Tcl/Tk programming layer: Automate procedures through a programmable command layer.
Custom import and export templates: Read and write XY plot data..
User written math functions: Build custom math functions within the interface, register existing C and Fortran routines or use HyperGraph's interface with Altair Compose® to access its math functions
Custom pull-down and context sensitive menus: Provide easy access to reports, plot macros, Tcl/Tk utilities and 3rd party executables.

Vertical specific user profiles for NVH, crash, forming or multi-body dynamics.

2.2. Plot Builder And Plot Details

Altair HyperGraph’s customizable automatic plot builder generates a series of fully annotated XY plots, polar plots, bar charts and complex plots directly from engineering and test data files according to customers requirements. A wide array of formatting options allow users to specify how plotted data appears and is arranged on pages within the session. An intuitive and highly efficient interface provides browser-driven direct access to edit or modify all plot areas including axes, header, footer, legend, and curve properties simultaneously for multiple plots.

2.3.Analyzing Your Data

Create new math curves from existing data curves by writing mathematical expressions or by selecting from a library of over 200 built-in mathematical functions and operators. HyperGraph also contains a sophisticated math engine for performing complex mathematical operations or building custom math expressions including:

Crash injury
Signal processing
Curve fitting
Filtering
Eigensystem analysis
Integration and differentiation
Statistical analysis
User-defined math functions

User-defined expressions

2.4. Report Generation

Generating a standard report is made easy with HyperGraph by using the Publish PowerPoint capability along with the Report Templates functionality. The contents are synchronized between both applications, so that even individual changes in Altair HyperView™ can be updated automatically in the presentation. Users have detailed control of the format and the content to export. The utility supports all common file formats for graphics and video.

Report export: PowerPoint
Synchronization: PowerPoint plug-in or from HyperView
Animation export: AVI, H3D, GIF
Image export: BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF
Summary data export: Multi-column, customizable formatting
