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.
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.
OSSmooth is a semi-automated design interpretation software, facilitating the recovery of a modified geometry resulting
from a structural optimization, for further use in the design process and FEA reanalysis.
Topology optimization results are interpreted to provide an iso-density surface based on the volumetric density information
of a topology optimization, which is conducted using OptiStruct.
FEA topology for reanalysis provides an iso-density surface based on the volumetric density information from a topology
optimization. Through tetrameshing for 3D models and inheriting boundary conditions, the results from FEA topology can
be used for quick reanalysis.
The FEA topography option in OSSmooth allows the results from an OptiStruct topography optimization to be interpreted as one or two level beads and recover boundary conditions upon geometry extraction.
An option for iso surface is also provided for combined use, which performs the same functionality as FEA topology, with
FEA topography.

Shape Optimization Results, Surface Reduction and Surface Smoothing
OSSmooth may also be used to reduce and smooth surfaces or the surfaces of a domain.
The parameter statements pure_surf_reduction and
pure_surf_smoothing can be used for this purpose.
The file defined by input_file must be in the OptiStruct Bulk Data format, and OSSmooth can smooth the surface or the
surfaces of a domain of the model.
