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.
The Design Explorer Browser displays a hierarchical view of your design setup and can be used to enable and disable exploration parameters.
An exploration is a multi-run simulation. Each exploration includes input design variables, and output responses. Explorations may also include goals, consisting of an objective and constraints.
An input design variable is a system parameter that influences the system performance in the chosen output response. Typical design variables may be a part's thickness, shape, or material property. Ranges, with lower and upper bounds, are specified and the variable's value will vary within the exploration. The terms input, input design variable, and design variable are used interchangeably.
An output response is a measurement of system performances, such as mass, volume, displacement, stress, strain, or reaction forces.
Objectives are metrics to be minimized or maximized in an optimization exploration. Minimizing mass to find a lightweight design is a common example.
Constraints need to be satisfied for an optimization to be acceptable. Constraints may also be associated with a DOE. While not used in the evaluation of the DOE, constraints can be useful while visualizing DOE results. Limits on displacement or stress are common examples.
