HyperWorks

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.
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.
- MotionView Overview
  MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multi-body Dynamics.
- Model Browser
  The Model Browser allows you to view the MotionView model structure while providing display and editing control of entities.
- MotionView Ribbons
  The MotionView ribbons allows you to quickly access tools and standard functions, and is located along the top of MotionView.
- MotionView CAD Interfacing
  MotionView supports the importing of several types of CAD and FE formats.
- Flexible Bodies
  MotionView has many pre-processing and post-processing capabilities with regards to flexible bodies, or flexbodies, for multi-body dynamics models.
  - Using Multi-body Dynamics Flexbodies
    MotionView has many pre-processing and post-processing capabilities with regards to flexible bodies, or flexbodies, for multi-body dynamics models.
    - Generating Flexbody H3D Files
      MotionView works with a HyperWorks neutral file called H3D to represent the flexible body. This compact file format stores the necessary information for visualizing the flexbody in the pre-processing window and the modes and interface nodes in the post-processing window. It also stores the modal and nodal information.
    - Visualizing H3D Flexbodies
      Once an H3D file is created, it can be visualized in HyperView.
    - Using H3D Flexbodies in MotionView
    - Flexbody Post-processing
      MotionView models solved in MotionSolve or Adams can be animated in HyperView. In addition, the plots for these models can also be viewed in HyperGraph.
    - Translation of Flexbody Files
    - Flexbody Theory and Flexbody Flow
- Preferences Dialog
  From the Preferences dialog, you can access various MotionView options for your model.
- Vehicle Modeling
  Explore the various vehicle modeling tools.
- Tcl/Tk Reference Guide
  Reference material for the HyperWorks Desktop scripting interface which is a set of Tcl/Tk commands.
- MDL Reference Guide
  Reference materials for the MotionView MDL Language, Tire Modeling, and the MDL Library.
- MotionSolve Reference Guide
