Simcenter HEEDS POST fact sheet (PDF)

This two-page fact sheet introduces HEEDS POST, the post-processing and data mining tool of HEEDS, which can also be used as a stand-alone product. It addresses a practical problem: once automated design exploration produces hundreds or thousands of designs, engineers need a structured way to read the results, see trade-offs and choose a design.

What the document covers

• 2D and 3D plots, including parallel plots that present high-dimensional data in a readable 2D form and history plots that track parameters through a study
• A design table holding all study data, and visualisation images for comparing designs as rendered by the native tools
• Analysis tools that interpret trends with automated statistical methods, the guided Discover toolset and reduced-order model creation
• Data sets for grouping, filtering and comparing families of designs, similar to node or element sets in simulation tools
• Monitoring and controlling a study while it runs, and adding information after it has finished
• Interactive HTML report templates that can be shared for review meetings without a software licence, plus export of animations and results

Who it is for

Simulation engineers and design teams running optimisation and design space exploration studies, and the engineering reviewers who need to understand the results and the reasons behind a chosen design.
