What's New
View new features for HyperWorks 2022.1.
Get Started
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
- User Interface
  Explore the HyperWorks user interface.
- Adjust the View
  View controls enable you to control the view and display of your model in the modeling window.
- Find and Search for Tools
  Quickly find and open the tools, panels, and browsers that are available from the ribbons or from the Utility Browser, as well as create entities and solver cards.
- Selection
  Select and deselect entities to modify with other HyperWorks tools. Selected entities are outlined to indicate their selection state.
  - Entity Selectors
    Use entity selectors to specify which type of entity you are able to select.
  - Select Entities
  - Append and Remove Entities From a Selection
  - Graphical Selection (Idle Mode)
  - Select Entities from the Entity Editor
  - Perform Extended Entity Selection
    Use extended entity selection to find, filter, and select subsets of entities. Extended selections can be added to, removed from, or intersected with existing selections, and previous selections can be also saved and retrieved.
  - Quick Advanced Selection
    Use quick advanced selection to associate a preferred advanced selection method to different entity types. The advanced method becomes instantly accessible while holding the Alt key during any selection action.
  - Select Mesh Faces and Edges
    Direct selection of mesh faces and edges is available in some tools, as well as their individual selection modes which are called Facets and FE Edges, respectively.
  - Keyboard Shortcuts & Mouse Controls
  - Select Entities Using Legacy Selectors
    For older contexts, selection is performed via yellow entity selectors.
- Move, Snap, and Orient
  Translate, rotate, and align the model.
- Measures
  Use the Measure tool to measure length, angles, radii, areas, volumes, centers of gravity, and bounding boxes.
- Working with Entities
  Learn how to manipulate entities in HyperWorks.
- Undo-Redo
  Undo and redo actions performed in HyperWorks.
- Keyboard Shortcuts and Mouse Controls
  Default keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls.
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.
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.
