Explore the HyperWorks user interface.
The title bar displays the name of the file that is currently opened, along with the active product and user profile.
The main display area of the user interface is called a page. Each page can contain up to 16 windows.
The ribbon allows you to quickly access tools and standard functions, and is located along the top of HyperWorks. Click on an icon to open the related tool. Hovering over a group of icons may reveal additional tools.
Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality in HyperWorks by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
Learn the basics of working with browsers.
Expand and collapse folders to better view model hierarchy.
Sort the entities within a folder.
The search bar can be used to find and filter entities in a browser.
Change the display and behavior of browsers.
The Entity Editor enables you to quickly edit entities in a model and correctly setup solver information.
Use the Entity State Browser to set various states for entities in a model.
Use the Demo Browser to quickly access and open demo model files available in the installation.
In the Mask Browser, set the mask/unmask state for entities at the entity configuration level.
Use the Media Browser to search, display, and edit media file data within the current HyperWorks session.
The Model Browser is a central part of HyperWorks that allows you to get an overview, edit, and control the display of all contents of a model
Use the Parameters Browser to parameterize the contents of a session file or report template and automate a variety of analysis processes.
Use the Plot Browser to search, display, and edit plot data within the current HyperWorks session.
The Reference Browser enables you to quickly understand complex relationships between different entities that constitute the model.
Use the Results Browser to view the results data model structure while providing find, display, and editing control of entities within the current HyperWorks session.
Use the Session Browser to view the current session and all the pages and windows it contains in a hierarchical display.
The Solver Browser provides a solver centric view of the model structure in a flat, listed tree structure.
Use the Table Browser to search, display, and edit TableView file data within the current HyperWorks session.
Use the Text Browser to search, display, and edit text file data within the current HyperWorks session.
The Utility menu contains options that allow you to customize the standard interface to include function buttons, radio options, and text that have HyperWorks-supplied and user-defined macros associated with them.
The modeling window is where your model is displayed.
The status bar displays information pertaining to the currently loaded model, active tools and panels, current collectors, and snap filter options.
Use to toolbelt to quickly access frequently used tools in HyperWorks.
Context menus are floating menus that are accessed by right-clicking on elements in the user interface. They provides immediate access to a short list of commands that are contextually relevant to the selection.
Guide bars guide you through a series of commands, required inputs, and options necessary to complete a workflow that is specific to a tool.
The Tcl Console enables you to enter and execute Tcl/Tk commands instead of using the user interface.
The HWC Console, with the command line, supports auto-completion and interactive help and allows easy modification and re-execution of commands.
The Message Log lists the actions performed in the current session. The dialog also provides you with information about your file (warnings, errors, and so on).
Command files can be used to create new command scripts that perform automation, or to recover previously performed steps.
Certain parts of the user interface, such as browsers, toolbars, and panels, can be undocked and repositioned as needed.
View controls enable you to control the view and display of your model in the modeling window.
Quickly find and open the tools, panels, and browsers that are available from the ribbons or from the Utility Browser, as well as create entities and solver cards.
Select and deselect entities to modify with other HyperWorks tools. Selected entities are outlined to indicate their selection state.
Translate, rotate, and align the model.
Use the Measure tool to measure length, angles, radii, areas, volumes, centers of gravity, and bounding boxes.
Learn how to manipulate entities in HyperWorks.
Undo and redo actions performed in HyperWorks.
Default keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls.
Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.
Start HyperWorks and configure the applications.
Create, open, import, and save models.
Set up sessions and create report templates.
Solver interfaces supported in HyperWorks.
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
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.
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Airbag solutions offer airbag folder utilities and exports a resulting airbag in a Radioss deck.
Essential utility tools developed using HyperWorks-Tcl.
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.
Streamline the creation of properties and 1D stiffener mesh using the info read from Marine CAD tools.
Create evaluation lines, evaluate them, and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
Explore the GeoD user interface.
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
TableView creates an Excel-like spreadsheet in HyperWorks.
TextView math scripts reference vector data from HyperGraph windows to automate data processing and data summary.
Create, define, and export reports.
