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.

MotionView has many pre-processing and post-processing capabilities with regards to flexible bodies, or flexbodies, for multi-body dynamics models.
From the Preferences dialog, you can access various MotionView options for your model.
Explore the various vehicle modeling tools.
Tires are critical elements to modeling a vehicle’s interaction with a road, with some tire models better suited to specific simulation domains.
Since computing tire forces and moments during a vehicle simulation is one of the most costly tasks, multi-threaded execution of tire models on a multi-core computer can substantially reduce the clock time for a simulation.
Altair HyperWorks integrates the Comfort and Durability family of tire models - CDTire - from Fraunhofer ITWM. The CDTire can be used in Ride and Handling vehicle analysis focusing on comfort, durability, and vehicle dynamics.
The FIALA tire model serves as the first stepping stone in full vehicle simulation because it is simple enough to be comprehended completely by the MBD analyst. Furthermore, the forces and torques produced by the tire/road interaction use a series of physically meaningful parameters.
Altair HyperWorks integrates MF-Tyre and MF-SWIFT tire models from Siemens (branded by Siemens as Simcenter Tire).
This tire is a FE based flexible tire solution from Pratt Miller that can interact with EDEM particles representing soil, sand, gravel, and so on. The tire model requires a finite element modeling file (.bdf) and other associated files. The AutoTire entity in MotionView provides a utility to generate the required mesh files from a CAD file. The tire can then be transferred to EDEM through MotionView-EDEM coupling interface. PM-FlexTire software is available as an Altair Partner product under the Altair Units licensing system.
User Written Tire models are implemented as user subroutines that compute the tire forces and moments, and the user road model is implemented as a subroutine that computes the road height at a given point.
The user written tire model is interfaced with MotionSolve using the Altair User tire interface.
The user defined tire model conforms to the TYDEX standard, therefore the received input and expected output is determined by the standard.
User Written Tire models are implemented as user subroutines that compute the tire forces and moments, and the user road model is implemented as a subroutine that computes the road height at a given point.
