*BeginDefinitions() Block
The *BeginDefinitions() block contains all program session interface definitions. For example, all report definitions are included in this block.
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.
Learn how to start HyperWorks applications on Windows and Linux.
The start-in directory is the location from which the HyperWorks application is launched.
HyperWorks writes several different settings files.
There are various types of startup customizations that are possible for HyperWorks. These items define how the application looks or behaves at product startup.
HyperMesh allows you to create a script file named hmcustom.tcl that can be used to automatically execute a series of commands or to define custom settings during startup.
Environment variables can be defined to configure various aspects of HyperWorks.
Extension are programs integrated with HyperWorks to enhance or extend the user experience.
A preference file is an ASCII file that configures the application or its clients. It specifies default user settings, such as the order in which colors are assigned, the default printer and default page layout.
A session file is an ASCII text file that contains a structured list of session statements.
Session files always begins with the *Id() statement which is followed by statements grouped in blocks.
The *BeginPage() block includes all instructions for the page layout and window content.
The *BeginDefinitions() block contains all program session interface definitions. For example, all report definitions are included in this block.
The *BeginPalette() block contains instructions for any user-defined graphic palettes that are included in the work session.
The *BeginStatsTemplates() block contains instructions for any user-defined statistics templates that are included in the work session.
When a session is saved, filenames are stored as Templex variables. When a session file is loaded, the program checks for Templex statements in the session file.
Report templates are ASCII text files that contain statements for creating reports.
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.
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Create and edit 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D elements.
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
HyperMesh composites modeling.
Create connections between parts of your model.
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.
Create a reduced ordered model to facilitate optimization at the concept phase.
Workflow to support topology optimization model build and setup.
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
Reduce a full 3D model with axisymmetric surfaces while accounting for imperfections.
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.
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Airbag solutions offer airbag folder utilities and exports a resulting airbag in a Radioss deck.
Essential utility tools developed using HyperWorks-Tcl.
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.
Create evaluation lines, evaluate them, and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
TableView creates an Excel-like spreadsheet in HyperWorks.
TextView math scripts reference vector data from HyperGraph windows to automate data processing and data summary.
Create, define, and export reports.
Start HyperWorks and configure the applications.
