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.
- Morph Constraints
  Morph constraint entities restrict the movements of nodes or force compliance with dimensional requirements during morphing. These constraints are always valid for all available morphing approaches.
- Free Morph
  Use the Free tool to morph mesh by moving nodes, faces, edges, and shapes or by mapping to geometry.
- Proximity Morph
  Use the Proximity tool to morph mesh using a simple distance or perturbation value around selected nodes, faces, edges, or shapes.
- Morph Volumes
  Morph volume entities are highly deformable six-sided prisms which surround a portion of the FE mesh, and can be used to manipulate a mesh by manipulating the shape of the morph volume.
- Shapes
  Shapes are collections of perturbations from the initial configuration of the FE mesh before the morph.
  - Create Shapes
    Create and apply morphing shapes.
  - Delete Shapes
    Delete selected shapes.
  - Record Node Movements
    Record node movements using other HyperWorks tools and save them as a shape.
  - Animate Shapes
    Animate selected shapes.
  - Apply Scale Factors to Shapes
    Apply a scale factor to change to the magnitude of the morphed shape.
  - Convert Shapes
    Convert a shape to node perturbations, handle perturbations, an mvol shape, forces, temperatures, pressures, or displacements.
  - Import Shapes
    Import saved shapes from a file.
  - Export Shapes
    Export selected shapes.
- Domains
  Domain entities divide the model into different domains during morphing.
- Handles
  Handle entities control the shape of domains during morphing.
- Symmetries
  Symmetry entities define planes of symmetry within a model so that morphs can be applied in a symmetric fashion.
- Undo All Morphs
  Undo all morphs and return to the original state of the model.
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.
