Composites
New Features
- Material Reference Orientation Dialog
- Panel material orientation functionality has been migrated to the
Material Reference Orientation dialog. It can
be accessed from the context menu of the Composite Browser. There are
three tabs:
- Normals: to set shell element normals, which determine the laminate stacking direction.
- Reference Orientation: to set material reference orientation. All methods from the previous Aerospace Material Orientation dialog and panels are provided.
- Review: to review material reference orientation vectors.
Known Issues
- Ply Stacking Performance on Large Models
- If a large laminate is fully defined with a template property and plies which all have an assigned shape, performance while manipulating the stacking sequence by adding or removing plies or changing ply shapes may be slow. As a workaround, a ply with no assigned shape can be temporarily placed in the laminate and removed at the end of the stacking process.
Connectors
New Features

Design Explorer
New Features
- Property Design Variables
- A new type of design variable has been added where you can select elements or components in the model and allow their property assignment to become a variable within explorations. For example, you can choose a set of 1D elements and allow their section definition to be a variable.
- Design Variable Link Equations
- Design variable links have previously been limited to linking one or more variables to a main variable, ensuring that the linked variables’ value will be equal to the main value throughout the exploration. Now you can link variables using equations or combinations of variables. For example, a link could be created like variable3 = (variable1 + variable2/2).
- Generic Response
- The new Generic Response can be used to create responses based on a chosen reference solver output file. The enhancement allows you to potentially create responses which are not amongst the current set of out-of-the-box responses supported by Design Explorer.
- Run Nominal Run Only
- It is now possible to set up a DOE and run only its nominal run, which can be useful to check and debug the model or exploration prior to fully submitting the DOE for evaluation. To run only a nominal run, set the DOE Type to MELS and set the number of runs to 0.
- Apply Design Variables to Model
- Selecting this new option in the Results Explorer Summary Table will apply all design variable values for the selected run on the model.
- Clustering Enhancements
- Clustering uses unsupervised machine learning to group exploration
results according to user-specified criteria. Prior releases have
exposed limited clustering features in the Results Explorer Scatter Plot
tool. The updates to clustering include moving it to its own tool in the
Results Explorer, where you can now cluster based on load case and
result type of their choice. New enhanced visualization tools are
available, including the ability to visualize/animate all clusters,
overlay results for individual clusters, and create classifications,
which will be used via supervised machine learning in coming
releases.Restriction: Currently, clustering is only supported on Windows.
Design Space
New Features
- Exoskeleton Workflow
- Exoskeleton is a workflow that enables and promotes design exploration of both early concepts and mature structures. The workflow provides insight as to how the structure may need reinforcing to meet a predetermined performance criteria. Two optimization approaches are supported: Topology and Size. Both approaches use 1D elements tied to the structure.
Extensions
New Features
- Pre-Defined Registration of Multiple Extensions Via an Environment Variable
- To start HyperWorks with a pre-defined set of extensions, you can now set the environment variable HWX_PLUGINS to add one or more directories from which all extensions will be registered. Click Remove to disable these extensions.
Enhancements
- Block the Disabling of Extensions
- The Remove button can be disabled by adding the removable keyword,
<entry name="removable" value="true"/>
, in the general section of the extension.xml file. - Improved Error Messages
- Meaningful error messages are displayed and the extension is not loaded when a ribbon xml is not referenced from inside a profile in the extension.xml file or when tags are not matching.
Resolved Issues
- The issue with ribbons and toolbars of some extensions not disappearing after an extension has been disabled has been resolved.
Known Issues
- Loading extensions covering pre and post-profiles with the HyperMesh profile active will not show the extension loaded in the post clients. The extension needs to be enabled in at least one of the post clients. Similarly, the extension needs to be loaded in the HyperMesh profile if it was loaded first in one of the post profiles.

Known Issues
- Known issues for the File
Open/Save dialogs and Message boxes:
- There are inconsistencies in the appearance of the File Open and File Save dialogs and Message boxes.
- Based on how they are opened and the available file extension filters in the File Open and Save dialogs, the appearance/style of the dialog can differ from other instances.
- Some of these dialogs can move behind the main application when clicking elsewhere in the application. This requires you to bring them to the foreground or reposition the application.
- Figure 25 and Figure 26 show examples of different versions of the File Open dialog:
- HyperWorks can hang on re-launch in following instances: if the license is
close to expiring, when the license expiration warning dialog opens, and if
a non-default browser was active on shutdown.
- To avoid this, one of the following environment variables can be
used:
- ALM_NO_EXPIRE_WARNING: Disables the expiration warning.
- ALM_EXPIRE_DAY_WARNING: Specifies the number of days before license expiration, the warning message is given (default is 30).
- If one of the environment variables listed above is not used to avoid this issue and the issue occurs, deleting the settings files will resolve the issue.
- To avoid this, one of the following environment variables can be
used:
- In some cases involving multi-monitor setups, if a browser or dialog is dragged from one monitor to another, associated context menus can appear outside the browser/dialog, potentially even on the original monitor.
- When running in a NICE/DCV environment, there are drawing issues with the HWx toolbelt.
- On Linux, an error can be seen when importing/opening files from a directory with a name/path containing non-ASCII characters. This error can be avoided by using the encoding system utf-8 command, either in a script or by manually typing it into the Tcl console, before importing/opening the file(s).

- Classify Tool
- The Classify tool, a machine learning tool, has been added in the new AI/ML section of the Assembly ribbon. This tool exploits the benefits of machine learning (ML) to auto-assign labels to parts based on their shape. Each label starts out being manually created and assigned by the user to help the ML model learn what parts look like. Once you have assigned Labels using your own data, you train a model which can then be used to Classify parts on new models. The goal is to automate the process of part identification and classification to reduce manual effort of organizing a large model.
- New Curve Editor
- The Curve Editor has been upgraded and given a new look to support some additional features. Tables in the Curve Editor now supports import of tabular data from csv files, direct export to csv, manipulation of data inside a table, such as inserting or deleting rows anywhere in the table, and copy and paste from within or from outside, without any limitations. Curve operations are also supported, such as duplicate a curve, hide, show or isolate a curve with the right-click context menu, Fit all function in the right-click context menu or keyboard shortcut F, and search and filter curve names from within the Curve Editor.
- Renumber All
- The Renumber All method has been added to the Renumber tool. With this option, all entities of all types in the model are renumbered at once.
Enhancements
