    - HM-4605: Define LS-DYNA Model and Load Data, Controls, and Output
      In this tutorial, you will: view LS-DYNA keywords in HyperMesh; understand part, material, and section creation and element organization; create sets and velocities; understand the relation of LS-DYNA entity type to HyperMesh element and load configurations; create nodal single point constraints and contacts with set segment ID; define output and termination; and export models to LS-DYNA formatted input files.
    - HM-4610: Use Curves, Beams, Rigid Bodies Joints, and Loads in LS-DYNA
      In this tutorial you will: create XY curves to define non-linear materials, constrained nodal rigid bodies, and joints; define beam elements with HyperBeam, *DEFORMABLE_TO_RIGID, *LOAD_BODY, *BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION_NODE; and use the HyperMesh Component Table tool to review the model's data.
    - HM-4615: Model Import, Airbags, Export Displayed, and Contacts with LS-DYNA
      In this tutorial you will define the following: *AIRBAG_WANG_NEFSKE for the airbag mesh geometry; initial velocity of 3 mm/ms in the negative x-direction for the head with *INITIAL_VELOCITY_GENERATION; a contact between the airbag and head with *ICONTACT_AUTOMATIC_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE; *CONTACT_AIRBAG_SINGLE_SURFACE for the airbag; and a contact between the plate and the airbag with *CONTACT_NODES_TO_SURFACE.
    - HM-4620: Create Rigid Walls, Model Data, Constraints, Cross Sections, and Output with LS-DYNA
      In this tutorial you will: create *PART_INERTIA for the vehicle mass component, velocity on all nodes except barrier nodes with *DEFINE_BOX and *INITIAL_VELOCITY, a contact between the crash boxes, the bumper, and the barrier with *CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_GENERAL, and a stationary rigid wall; use *DATABASE_HISTORY_NODE to specify nodes to be output; use *DATABASE_CROSS_SECTION_PLANE to specify the output of resultant forces; and make nodes a part of the mass rigid body with *CONSTRAINED_EXTRA_NODES.
    - HM-4625: Assemblies Using DYNA
      In this tutorial, you will learn how to weld between geometry surfaces and shell elements, welding using a master connectors file and duplicating and reflecting connectors, create connectors from existing welds to create new welds of a different type, swap welded part, and understand why connectors may fail to realize and how to correct the problems.
    - HM-4630: Interfacing for Arbitrary - Lagrangian - Eulerian Capability Using DYNA
      In this step, you will become familiar with defining LS-DYNA cards related to the ALE capability. You will set up the model data for an LS-DYNA analysis of an ink cartridge falling through air and onto the ground.
    - HM-4635: Create Joints and Check Minimum Time Step
      In this tutorial, you will create joints and check the minimum time step in HyperMesh.

A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
CAD Interfaces
Support provided by the CAD readers and writers.
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.
Panels
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Meshing
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Connectors
Create connections between parts of your model.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
