What's New
View new features for HyperWorks 2022.1.
Get Started
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Video Tutorials
Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.
Startup Procedures and Customizations
Start HyperWorks and configure the applications.
Manage Files and Data
Create, open, import, and save models.
Sessions and Report Templates
Set up sessions and create report templates.
Interface with External Products
Solver interfaces supported in HyperWorks.
Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Browsers
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.
Sketching
Create and edit 2D parametric sketch geometry.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
- Create Geometry
  Explore the tools used to create geometry.
- Edit Geometry
  Explore the tools used to edit geometry.
- Geometry Cleanup
  Clean up problematic areas on geometry.
  - Defeature Geometry
    Use the Defeature tool to automatically find, review, and defeature holes and other non-essential features.
    - Remove Cuts
      Use the Defeature: Cuts tool to extend surface edges and remove cutouts.
    - Remove Small Features
      Use the Defeature: Small Features tool to find and remove/fix small solids and surfaces.
    - Remove Logos
      Use the Defeature: Logos tool to find and remove logos.
    - Remove Rounds and Fillets
      Use the Defeature: Fillets tool to find and remove both round (convex) and fillet (concave) surfaces.
    - Remove Solid Holes
      Use the Defeature: Holes tool to remove solid holes in the model.
    - Perform Batch Repair
      Use the Defeature: Batch tool to perform automatic cleanup operations on selected surfaces.
  - Preserve Edges
    Use the Preserve Edges tool to ensure that specific component edges and feature lines do not accidentally get discarded during auto cleanup or batch meshing.
  - Match Topology
    Fix gaps between stitched edges and vertices to make the actual geometry of the surfaces consistent with the model topology.
  - Find Intersections and Penetrations
    Find intersections and penetrations between geometric surfaces and solids.
FE Geometry
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.
Meshing
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Elements
Create and edit 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D elements.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
Composites
HyperMesh composites modeling.
Connectors
Create connections between parts of your model.
Morph
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.
Skeleton Modeling
Create a reduced ordered model to facilitate optimization at the concept phase.
Design Space
Workflow to support topology optimization model build and setup.
Design Explorer
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Validate
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
Axisymmetry
Reduce a full 3D model with axisymmetric surfaces while accounting for imperfections.
Concept Modeling
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.
Crash and Safety
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Airbag Solutions
Airbag solutions offer airbag folder utilities and exports a resulting airbag in a Radioss deck.
Aerospace
Essential utility tools developed using HyperWorks-Tcl.
Aeroelasticity
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Certification
Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.
Squeak and Rattle Director
Create evaluation lines, evaluate them, and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
Panels
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Results Data
Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.
Plot Data
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.
Multibody Modeling
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
Media Files
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
Tabulate Results
TableView creates an Excel-like spreadsheet in HyperWorks.
Text Files
TextView math scripts reference vector data from HyperGraph windows to automate data processing and data summary.
Publishing and Reporting
Create, define, and export reports.
