Engineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Squeak and Rattle Director, Crash, CFD, and Aerospace using
best-in-class solver technology.
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.
Use the cfast converter tool to convert CFAST elements into CBAR/RBE3 (spiders). For thermoelastic analysis, the CFAST
has no thermal expansion coefficient. CBAR is thermoelastic compatible.
Use the Stuck Node Creation tool to create (double) RBE3 connection to "stick" nodes on QUAD or TRIA elements to make
the node displacements following the element ones.
Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality in Engineering Solutions 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.
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.
Fastener Setup
Create node-to-node CBUSH elements at the connector locations point/node or line.
Convert CFAST Elements
Use the cfast converter tool to convert CFAST elements into CBAR/RBE3 (spiders). For thermoelastic analysis, the CFAST has no thermal expansion coefficient. CBAR is thermoelastic compatible.
Stuck Node Creation
Use the Stuck Node Creation tool to create (double) RBE3 connection to "stick" nodes on QUAD or TRIA elements to make the node displacements following the element ones.
Create Linear Gaps
Use the Linear Gap tool to create linear gap analysis cards for Nastran and OptiStruct.
Sewing Tools
Connect two dissimilar 2D shell meshes using RBE3 connection.
