View new features for Engineering Solutions 2022.3.
Engineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Squeak and Rattle Director, Crash, CFD, and Aerospace using best-in-class solver technology.
Discover Engineering Solutions functionality with interactive tutorials.
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) is an important vehicle attribute that directly affects the customer experience.
Use the Squeak and Rattle Director tool to create evaluation lines, evaluate them and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
The Crash application offers a tailored environment in HyperWorks that efficiently steers the Crash CAE specialist in CAE model building, starting from CAD geometry and finishing with a runnable solver deck in Radioss, LS-DYNA and PAM-CRASH 2G.
HyperWorks offers high quality tools for CFD applications enabling the engineer to perform modeling, optimization and post-processing tasks efficiently.
Essential utility tools developed using HyperWorks-Tcl.
Solver interfaces supported in Engineering Solutions.
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Support provided by the CAD readers and writers.
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.
Learn the basics of working with browsers.
Use the Assembly Browser to manage parts and modules during the assembly building process.
Use the Connector Browser to view and modify connectors in the current model.
Use the Contact Browser to create, review and modify contact interfaces and surfaces in a model.
The Entity Editor enables you to quickly view and edit entities in a model and correctly setup solver information.
Use the Entity State Browser to set various states for entities in a model.
Use the Loadsteps Browser to create, manage and display loadsteps (sub-cases) and the associated control cards.
In the Mask Browser, set the mask/unmask state for entities at the entity configuration level.
Use the Mass Trimming tool to create, define and realize mass entities.
Use the Matrix Browser to explore the HyperMesh and HyperView data entities and export the entities to external files for further analysis.
Create and articulate a kinematic mechanism based on FE mesh using the Mechanism Browser.
Use the Model Browser to view the model structure while providing full find, display and editing control of entities.
Check the solver validity of the model, identify modeling issues, and fix modeling issues in an automatic or manual way.
Use the Part Browser to create, organize and manage the CAE part structure/hierarchy.
The Reference Browser enables you to quickly understand complex relationships between different entities that constitute the model.
The Solver Browser provides a solver centric view of the model structure in a flat, listed tree structure.
Create, organize and manage the CAE subsystem level models using any entities.
The Utility menu contains options that allow you to customize the standard interface to include function buttons, radio options, and text that have Engineering Solutions-supplied and user-defined macros associated with them.
The QA Utility menu contains many tools to help you quickly review and clean up the quality of a pre-existing mesh.
In the Disp Utility menu, clear temporary nodes if needed.
This menu contains a set of macros related to working with model geometry, as well as a set for working with FE mesh.
Macros are included on the Abaqus page of the Utility menu when you load the Abaqus user profile.
Use the Tie-Comparison tool to compare Tie-Contacts created in Engineering Solutions to Tie-Contacts created by the Abaqus solver.
Use the Abaqus Contact Manager to create, edit and review cards.
Create, edit, review, and delete interfaces, as well as edit, review, and delete surfaces and surface interactions that are displayed on the Interface tab.
The Surface tab displays a description of the *SURFACE cards with corresponding types. You can create, edit, review, and delete surfaces from this tab.
The Surface Interaction tab displays a description of the *SURFACE INTERACTION cards. You can create, edit, review and delete surface interactions from this tab.
Use this tool to align the face1 of selected solid elements (hexa and penta) to match with a planar face.
Use the Step Manager to create, edit and review supported keywords.
Search the entity names in your model for every occurrence of a specific character, and automatically replace the character with a new one that you specify.
The macros on the ANSYS Utility menu simplify some common tasks for the ANSYS user profile.
The LS-DYNA Utility menu contains shortcuts and tools that can help simplify LS-DYNA tasks. Set the user profile from the User Profiles option of the Preferences menu.
The Nastran user profile contains two macro menus on the Utility menu: Nastran1 and Nastran.
The PAM-CRASH 2G Utility menu (pamcrash2G.mac) contains shortcuts and tools that help simplify PAM-CRASH 2G tasks.
The Utility menu for the OptiStruct user profile contains, in addition to the default Utility menus, three pages (Summary, FEA and Opti) of specific utilities for OptiStruct.
Use the Visualization controls to change many of the visual states in Engineering Solutions and HyperView.
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Create connections between parts of your model.
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
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.
Overview of how to build a finite element model.
