2022.2
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Collectors are named organizational containers for collected entities. Collected entities are nameless entities which must reside within one, and only one, collector. Collected entities are mutually exclusive to a collector.
View new features for HyperWorks 2022.2.
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.
Start HyperWorks and configure the applications.
View a list of deprecated HyperWorks panels and their newer, equivalent workflows.
Create, open, import, and save models.
Set up sessions and create report templates.
Solver interfaces supported in HyperWorks.
Include files enable solver decks to be split into separate files for organizational purposes, and provide a mechanism to include these files in a master solver beck, typically using an include statement.
SolverSubmodels allow you to manage ID offsets as well as define transformations on solver entities or Include files.
Assemblies collect and organize sub-assemblies and components into hierarchical data structures which are intended to reflect the data structure of the product being modeled.
Bags collect and organize entities.
Multibodies collect and organize ellipsoids, multibody planes, and multibody joints and are typically used in multi-body analysis.
Entities which are given a name but are not collected or organized into containers.
Entities used for morphing the shape of FE model.
Entities used to set up optimization problems.
Control card entities create solver control cards such as results file I/O options, CPU and memory limits, and others.
Undefined entities are entities that will not be written to the solver deck.
The encryption of solver entities is used to translate entity data into an undisclosed language.
Element property and material assignment rules are based on the current user profile (solver interface).
Supported cards organized by solver.
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.
