What's New
View new features for HyperWorks 2022.
Get Started
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Video Tutorials
Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.
Startup Procedures and Customizations
Start HyperWorks and configure the applications.
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.
Plot Data
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.
