Essential utility tools developed using HyperWorks-Tcl.
View new features for HyperWorks 2022.
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
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.
Create an assembly structure from a .csv file definition.
Create and review pressure loads on 1D elements that are fully or partially loaded.
It is convenient to apply aerospace loads and concentrated mass that is predefined at specific node ID’s from an Excel file. This requires carefully numbering nodes with specific ID’s, which is a standard practice in aerospace.
Line loads allow total loads (forces and moments) to be applied in a distributed manner on nodes even though the load is applied on geometry lines or set of nodes forming ordered edges.
Connect two dissimilar meshes using displacement constraint elements.
Aircraft windows are normally modeled with CROD elements around the hole of the shells. Constant pressure on the window area is applied by means of force distribution on the edge nodes.
Use the Transformation Tool to translate, scale, reflect or rotate elements with multiple numbers of copies, including properties and loads, attached to them.
Converts the pressure load to be applied on shell elements to equivalent forces on the corner nodes of the selected shell elements.
Map thermal loads from one model to another.
Implement a special RBE2 connection with assigned DOFs.
Use multiple combinations of source files (in the form of CSV) and multiple target models (decks or HyperMesh .dbs) to realize field mapping for the creation of new loads, such as temperature and pressure.
Use the Plot SPC/SPCD tool to display the SPC/SPCD assigned to the nodes in their relevant analysis (output) system. The tool shows the coefficients of the selected degrees of freedom (DOF) and the ID of the system associated to the node(s) where the constraint is applied.
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.
