Sometimes CAE users need to create models from sketches where there is no pre-existing geometry. The tools in this
tutorial will help you accomplish that task.
The surfaces created in this process are regular surfaces that can be used for geometry editing (for changes to a
design) and meshing, and to export geometry information (in reverse engineering applications, for example). This is
particularly useful if you are trying to obtain geometry information (surfaces) from a model containing elements
only.
The use of solid geometry is helpful when dividing a part into multiple volumes, for example, to divide a part into
simple, mappable regions for hex meshing.
Learn how to perform a DOE study using HyperStudy and the HyperStudy Job Launcher within HyperMesh. HyperMorph is used to parameterize the shape of the design.
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.
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing
process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
HM-2035: Refine Topology
Topological details of the geometry may affect the quality of the mesh created from the surfaces.
HM-2040: Create and Edit Line Data
Sometimes CAE users need to create models from sketches where there is no pre-existing geometry. The tools in this tutorial will help you accomplish that task.
