Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Learn how to manipulate entities in HyperWorks.
Learn how to work with entities using the Entity Editor.
View new features for HyperWorks 2022.
Explore the HyperWorks user interface.
View controls enable you to control the view and display of your model in the modeling window.
Quickly find and open the tools, panels, and browsers that are available from the ribbons or from the Utility Browser, as well as create entities and solver cards.
Select and deselect entities to modify with other HyperWorks tools. Selected entities are outlined to indicate their selection state.
Translate, rotate, and align the model.
Use the Measure tool to measure length, angles, radii, areas, volumes, centers of gravity, and bounding boxes.
Learn the basics of working with entities.
Every entity is assigned solver specific data, which you can modify using the Entity Editor.
Create, edit, and assign new entities to an existing entity or group of entities in the Entity Editor.
In the LS-DYNA, OptiStruct, and Radioss user profiles, certain entities can be defined with parameters in the Entity Editor.
Filter the entities that are not applicable to the entity displayed in the Entity Editor.
Display a warning dialog when changing information in the Entity Editor.
Set entities are used to define and store lists of entity IDs for a specific entity.
Define the mandatory, default value, and/or hidden state settings for entity attributes.
Use the tools in the Home ribbon group menu to transform, mirror/reflect, and adjust the dimensions of entities.
Add metadata to all types of entities. The added metadata can be saved to an *.hm file.
Undo and redo actions performed in HyperWorks.
Default keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls.
Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.
Start HyperWorks and configure the applications.
Create, open, import, and save models.
Set up sessions and create report templates.
Solver interfaces supported in HyperWorks.
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Create and edit 2D parametric sketch geometry.
Create, edit, and cleanup 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.
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Create and edit 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D elements.
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
HyperMesh composites modeling.
Create connections between parts of your model.
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.
Create a reduced ordered model to facilitate optimization at the concept phase.
Workflow to support topology optimization model build and setup.
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Airbag solutions offer airbag folder utilities and exports a resulting airbag in a Radioss deck.
Essential utility tools developed using HyperWorks-Tcl.
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.
Streamline the creation of properties and 1D stiffener mesh using the info read from Marine CAD tools.
Create evaluation lines, evaluate them, and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
Explore the GeoD user interface.
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
TableView creates an Excel-like spreadsheet in HyperWorks.
TextView math scripts reference vector data from HyperGraph windows to automate data processing and data summary.
Create, define, and export reports.
