  • What's New

    View new features for HyperWorks 2022.2.

  • Get Started

    Learn the basics and discover the workspace.

  • Video Tutorials

    Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.

  • Startup Procedures and Customizations

    Start HyperWorks and configure the applications.

  • Tool Finder

    View a list of deprecated HyperWorks panels and their newer, equivalent workflows.

  • 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.

    • Manage Parts

    • Manage Subsystems

    • PostgreSQL Installation and Configuration

      Also referred to as Postgres, PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system with emphasis on extensibility and standards compliance.

    • Section Library

      Use the automotive section library for rapid concept development in the early phases of the vehicle design process.

    • Organize Entities

      Use the Organize tool to move or copy entities into their proper destinations.

    • Match Parts

      Automatically group selected parts into part sets based on comparison method and criteria selected.

    • Renumber Entities

      Use the Renumber tool to review and organize the IDs of model entities.

    • Reorder Entities

      Change the order of named entities in database.

    • ID-Management

      Manage all of the IDs for the entities that you create, and define ID ranges for all of the entities in each Include file in relation to the full model in order to avoid ID duplication.

    • Manage Scenarios

      Scenarios are a mechanism to apply controls to engineering entities.

    • Mechanism Browser

      Create and articulate a kinematic mechanism based on FE mesh using the Mechanism Browser.

    • Model Verification

      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.

    • Systems

      Local coordinate systems can be used for setting up loads/boundary conditions that do not act in the global axis direction, transforming results, defining material orientation, and many other operations.

    • Assign Properties and Materials

      Define physical and mathematical characteristics of parts.

    • Generate Contacts Automatically

      Use the Auto Contacts tool to determine contact interfaces between selections of components or elements. Based on the user-specified options like proximity tolerance, surface creation method, main surface type, and secondary type, the tool generates contacts based on set segments or node and element combinations.

    • RBE2s, RBE3s, and MPCs

      Create, review, and edit RBE2/RBE3 elements and MPC equations.

      • Create, Review, and Edit RBE2 Elements

      • Create, Review, and Edit RBE3 Elements

      • Create, Review, and Edit MPC Equations

    • Create and Edit Curves

      Use the curve editor to create and plot XY curves.

    • Analytical Rigid Surfaces

      The Abaqus solver offers the flexibility of modeling rigids as surfaces using primitive geometry.

  • 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.
