2022.1
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Volume mesh or "solid meshing" uses three-dimensional elements to represent fully 3D objects, such as solid parts or sheets of material that have enough thickness and surface variety that solid meshing makes more sense than 2D shell meshing.
Use the Hex tool to create and edit hex meshes.
View new features for HyperWorks 2022.1.
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.
Start HyperWorks and configure the applications.
Create, open, import, and save models.
Set up sessions and create report templates.
Solver interfaces supported in HyperWorks.
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
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.
Create and edit 2D parametric sketch geometry.
Create, edit, and cleanup 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.
Edit the Parameter and Criteria files and define mesh controls using the Mesh Controls Browser.
1D mesh that allows accurate testing of connectors, such as bolts, and similar rod-like or bar-like objects that can be modeled as a simple line for FEA purposes.
A surface mesh or "shell mesh" represents model parts that are relatively two-dimensional, such as sheet metal or a hollow plastic cowl or case.
Supported 3D elements.
Use the Tetra tool to fill an enclosed volume with first order or second order tetrahedral elements.
You can select multiple solids for solid map meshing provided that each individual solid is in fact mappable. However, the meshing engine cannot always mesh every selected solid in a single operation, even when all the selected solids display as mappable.
Before you can successfully solid mesh a model, ensure that the solids have been partitioned so that they are either one directional or three directional mappable.
Create a new 3D mesh from a single, mappable solid volume.
Create a new 3D mesh from multiple, mappable solids.
Use the Solid Map tool to create and edit a mesh of solid elements in a solid geometric volume.
Use the Thin Solids tool to create 3D mesh on thin solids. The mesh is created by first generating a 2D mesh on a selected set of source faces, and then extruding this mesh to generate solid hexa or wedge elements.
Acoustic Cavity meshing generates a fluid volume mesh used to calculate the acoustic modes (or standing waves) inside the air spaces of a vehicle or similarly enclosed structural model.
Create and edit 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D elements.
