Manage Files and Data
Create, open, import, and save models.
- Supported File Types
  The following file types can be read, depending upon the active application.
- Create New Files
  Create a new file.
- Open Files
  Open a file.
- Import Files
  Import various file types into the selected client.
- Warning Messages When Loading Files
  When loading an .hm file, you may receive a warning message depending on the version and solver interface in which the file was last saved.
- Change Solver Interfaces
  Load a different solver interface in HyperWorks.
- Conversion Between Solver Formats
  Convert finite element models to another solver format.
- Load Files
  Load command files, scripts, solver template files, preferences, or the Metadata Table.
- Save Files
  Save all of the data in your current session.
- Export Files
  Export various file types from the selected client to another format.
  - CAD Export
    Learn about the CAD readers supported by HyperWorks and the options available for exporting CAD geometry data.
    - Supported CAD Writers
      CAD writers supported by HyperWorks.
    - CAD Export Options
      CAD writers provide options for processing data during export.
    - CAD Export Message Files
      When a CAD file is exported from HyperWorks, a .msg file is created, or appended to, in the current working directory.
  - Solver Deck Export
    Export solver input files.
  - Curve Export
    Export plot data in several different formats so that it can be read by other software applications.
  - Connector Export
    Learn about exporting connector files.
  - HyperMesh Comments
    If you insert special comment cards into your input deck, you can provide HyperMesh with additional information about the colors and names of entities. You can also use comments to preserve information that is not supported by a particular solver, for example, assemblies or system references.
  - Export Settings
    Export settings for AMF, AVI, H3D, JPEG, and GIF files.
- Include Files
  Most FEA solvers allow you to organize the input deck into separate files and provide a mechanism to include (or refer) these files in the main input deck.
- Take a Screen Capture
  Record a video or take a snapshot of the screen.
- Convert Units
  Use the Units tool to convert a finite element model from its initial unit system to a new unit system.
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.
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.
Optimization
Setup an Optimization in HyperWorks.
Design Explorer
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Validate
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
Analyze
Models require loads and boundary conditions in order to represent the various physics and/or physical equivalents to bench and in-use testing.
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.
Multibody Modeling
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
Media Files
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
Tabulate Results
TableView creates an Excel-like spreadsheet in HyperWorks.
Text Files
TextView math scripts reference vector data from HyperGraph windows to automate data processing and data summary.
Publishing and Reporting
Create, define, and export reports.
