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.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing
parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Ply Geometry Smoothing provides functionality to smooth finite element ply shapes, usually generated from concept
level composite freesize optimization, and to generate geometry from finite element ply shapes.
The Material Orientation tool provides several methods of assigning material x directions for shell and solid elements,
and additionally z directions for solid elements.
PCOMP From CSV
PCOMP from CSV generates HyperMesh composite properties from data defined in a .csv file.
Ply Geometry Smoothing
Ply Geometry Smoothing provides functionality to smooth finite element ply shapes, usually generated from concept level composite freesize optimization, and to generate geometry from finite element ply shapes.
Ply Auto Rename
Ply Auto Rename changes ply names so that the assigned material, thickness and angle are appended.
FE Absorb Plies
FE Absorb Plies generates a ply-based model from zone-based properties.
Material Orientation
The Material Orientation tool provides several methods of assigning material x directions for shell and solid elements, and additionally z directions for solid elements.
Shell To Solid Conversion
The Shell To Solid Conversion tool provides functionality to generate solid elements and material orientations from a ply based shell model.
