- Create Geometry
  Explore the tools used to create geometry.
- Edit Geometry
  Explore the tools used to edit geometry.
  - Split Surfaces and Solids
    Use the Split tools to create fixed points and split surfaces or solids using a variety of methods.
    - Split Interactive
      Use the Split: Interactive tool to quickly create fixed points on surfaces and edges, and split surfaces with lines. You can also remove fixed points from surfaces or surface edges to unsplit them.
    - Split with Nodes
      Use the Split: Nodes tool to split surfaces using ordered (node list/path) and non-ordered nodes selections.
    - Split with Lines
      Use the Split: Lines tool to split surfaces and solids using lines, bounding lines, offset lines, and graphical lines.
    - Split with Surfaces
      Use the Split: Surfaces tool to split surfaces and solids using surfaces.
    - Split with Planes
      Use the Split: Planes tool to split lines, surfaces, or solids.
    - Perform Parametric Trimming
      Use the Split: Parametric tool to restore suppressed fixed points.
  - Unsplit Surface Edges
    Use the Unsplit tool to remove split lines so that split surfaces return to their previous unsplit state.
  - Stitch Surfaces and Suppress Edges
    Use the Stitch tool to stitch and unstitch adjacent or overlapping surfaces, and suppress or unsuppress edges.
  - Lines, Surfaces, and Edge Fillets
    Use the Fillets tool to create a constant radius on lines, surfaces, and edges.
  - Imprint Geometry
    Use the Imprint tool to imprint geometry onto target surfaces or lines, thus creating new fixed points or edges.
  - Combine, Subtract, Intersect, Detach Solids
    Use the Boolean tool to combine solids, subtract one solid from another, detach solids, and find the intersection out of the solids.
  - Find and Fill Cavities
    Use the Plug tool to find and fill cavities. The Plug tool can also be used to remove protrusions, holes, and complex features.
  - Cut Holes
    Use the Cut Hole tool to generate holes in surfaces/2D mesh/FE geometry using various kind of shapes.
  - Extract Entities
    Use the Extract tool to convert sketches into geometry lines and surfaces with the realize option. Delete lines and surfaces converted from a sketch entity with the unrealize option.
  - CAD Update
    In this section you will learn about updating CAD metadata and parameters.
- Geometry Cleanup
  Clean up problematic areas on 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.
Design Explorer
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Validate
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
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.
Marine
Streamline the creation of properties and 1D stiffener mesh using the info read from Marine CAD tools.
Squeak and Rattle Director
Create evaluation lines, evaluate them, and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
Geomechanics Director
Explore the GeoD user interface.
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.
