Manage Files and Data
Create, open, import, and save models.
Sessions and Report Templates
Set up sessions and create report templates.
Interface with External Products
Solver interfaces supported in HyperWorks.
Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Sketching
Create and edit 2D parametric sketch geometry.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup 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.
- Results Data in HyperMesh
  Direct integration of native results readers into HyperMesh allows you to perform results visualization on the model.
- Results Data in HyperView
  HyperView is a complete environment to visualize, query, and process results data.
  - Working with Models
    Open animation files, measure various distances and angles between entities, and use the Results Browser to view the model structure and find, display, and edit entities.
  - Animate and Visualize Results
    Create section cuts and explore the various result plotting tools.
  - Create Entities
    Create and edit user-defined data type expressions, derived load cases, and systems. You can also plot a forming limit diagram, generate streamlines, track entities during animation, and create and import/export sets of entities.
  - Query Data
    Query entities, create or edit free body diagrams, construct multiple curves and plots from a single result file, and create and plot stress linearization.
  - Annotate Models
    Annotate animation files using notes or trace various entities during animation.
  - Transform Models
    Define planes of symmetry/axisymmetry or explode a model.
  - Overlay Images/Videos
    Select and overlay images or videos in the modeling window for correlation and presentation purposes.
  - Rendering Models
    Select a graphics rendering mode and change the appearance of materials.
  - Additional Tools for Post-Processing
    The Tools menu provides you access to various panels and dialogs.
    - Add Object
      Use the Add Object tool to add a graphical representation as an object to a specific component (part) or modify an existing object.
    - Deformed
      Use the Deformed tool to specify parameters for deformation display.
    - Collision Detection
      Use the Collision Detection tool to perform collision interference checking.
    - Systems Review Dialog
      Use the Systems Review dialog to review the orientations of various element systems (1D, 2D, or 3D), as well as material and ply systems.
    - Mask
      The Mask panel allows you to mask elements, components, and systems to reduce the number of entities displayed on the screen. With fewer entities displayed on the screen, it is easier to pick the necessary elements or visualize important areas of a model.
    - Entity Attributes
      Visual properties such as shading, color, and mesh lines can be assigned to entities using the Entity Attributes panel.
    - Apply Style Options Dialog
      The Apply Style options dialog allows you to select and apply display attributes of the active model in the current window to all models available in the current window, the current page, all pages, or selected HyperView windows in the session.
    - Extract Solver Deck Assemblies
      The Extract Solver Deck Assemblies tool allows you to import a HyperMesh exported input deck and extract the HyperMesh commands HMNAME, HMCOLOR, and HMASSEM.
    - Generate PSM for Madymo
      The Generate PSM for MADYMO function allows you to save analysis results of nodes as a PSM (Prescribed Structural Motion) file. Displacement results from any animation can be exported as a PSM file.
    - Extract summed node force/moments-Ansys
      A script for ANSYS result files, which allows you to extract total summation of nodal force and moments for the nodes of the selected elements.
    - RAD2NOISE
      The RAD2NOISE dialog in the utilities page allows you to create an input file based on your inputs. This input file can be used to run the RAD2NOISE solver in batch mode.
    - Synchronize Animation
      Use the Synchronize Animation dialog to synchronize windows that contain animation results in different units and/or begin at different time steps.
    - Contour Measure Curves
      The Contour Measure Curves dialog allows you to quickly plot contour measure curves.
    - Synchronize Result Step
      Synchronize and switch the subcase and simulation across multiple windows on the page.
    - Import
      The Tools menu Import option allows you to access sub-menu options and dialogs for plot styles, sets, and views.
    - Export
      The Tools menu Export option allows you to access sub-menu options and dialogs for iso surface, plot styles, sets, and views.
  - Profiles
    Load preference file profiles to access the various Aerospace tools, NVH utilities, and Vehicle Safety Tools.
  - Preferences Dialog
    From the Preferences dialog, you can access various HyperView display options.
  - Display/Visualization Options
    Explore the various display and visualization tools.
