Engineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Squeak and Rattle Director, Crash, CFD, and Aerospace using
best-in-class solver technology.
The Crash application offers a tailored environment in HyperWorks that efficiently steers the Crash CAE specialist in CAE model building, starting from CAD geometry and finishing with
a runnable solver deck in Radioss, LS-DYNA and PAM-CRASH 2G.
HyperWorks offers high quality tools for CFD applications enabling the engineer to perform modeling, optimization and post-processing
tasks efficiently.
Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based
format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
The HyperWorks Material Library is a database that stores engineering material information to ensure that material properties used
in simulations are up to date and accurate, and provides standardization of material data across an organization.
You can create a material library, either local or shared, similar to the way you create a part library. A local library resides on your computer, and a shared library resides on another computer.
Adding an existing material library is useful when another user has already created a shared library and you would
like to access it. The steps are essentially the same as creating a new library, but instead of selecting an empty
folder, you should instead select a folder that already contains a material library.
The Utility menu contains options that allow you to customize the standard interface to include function buttons, radio options, and
text that have Engineering Solutions-supplied and user-defined macros associated with them.
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing
process using the Verification and Comparison tools.

In this task you will learn how to load materials that are saved in a material
library.
Materials that can be loaded into the library are dependent on the current user
profile. For example, if you are in the OptiStruct user
profile, only OptiStruct materials will be shown.
In the Model Browser, click the Materials
View icon () on the toolbar.
In an empty area of the browser window, right-click and select Library > Load from the context menu.
The Load From Library dialog displays.
From the listing of materials, select the items you want to load by activating
the checkbox next to the material.
Note: If you click on an item to highlight it, you will see its material
properties in the lower half of the dialog on the Properties tab. This
allows you to review the material before bringing it into the
session.
Click the History tab to display the revision history of
the selected material.
Note: You can roll back to an earlier revision of the material by right-clicking
on the appropriate revision and selecting Switch from
the context menu.
After you have selected the materials you would like to load, click
OK.
The materials are now defined along with their card images.
