  - CFD-1100: Create a Hybrid Grid with Varying Boundary Layer Thickness
    In this tutorial, you will learn to generate boundary layer type meshes with an arbitrary number of layers and thickness distribution, which can be used for CFD applications, molding simulations, or other processes. You will also generate automatically a distributed thickness distribution to prevent boundary layer interference /collision in zones where the distance between opposing walls is too small to accommodate the baseline or nominal boundary layer thickness.
  - CFD-1000: Create a Hybrid Grid Using the CFD Mesh Panel
    In this tutorial, you will learn to generate meshes for CFD applications, for example Fluent and STAR CD using the CFD Tetramesh panel, generate boundary layer type meshes with an arbitrary number of layers and thickness distribution, specify/identify boundary regions for CFD simulations, export a mesh with boundary regions for Fluent, and import the model into Fluent.
  - CFD-1200: CFD Meshing with Automatic BL Thickness Reduction
    In this tutorial, you will learn to generate meshes for most CFD codes using the CFD Tetramesh panel and generate boundary layer type meshes with arbitrary number of layers and thickness distribution in domains defined by surfaces that are very close to one another in some areas. More specifically, in some areas the clearance or separation of bounding surfaces is not enough to accommodate the user specified nominal boundary layer thickness. You will also learn to generate a distributed thickness “loading” that prevents boundary layer interference/collision in zones where the distance between opposing walls is too small to accommodate the baseline or nominal boundary layer thickness.
  - CFD-1300: Plane 2D Meshing with Boundary Layers
    In this tutorial, you will learn to generate 2D boundary layer type meshes with an arbitrary number of layers and thickness distribution in domains defined by edges. You will also generate 2D boundary layer type meshes in areas where the clearance or separation of bounding edges is not enough to accommodate the user specified nominal boundary layer thickness/number or layers.
  - CFD-1400: Hexcore Meshing with Boundary Layer
    In this tutorial you will learn how to generate a hexcore mesh with a boundary layer.
  - CFD-1500: Use Distributed Thickness for Varying Boundary Layer Thickness
    In this tutorial you will learn how to generate a structured quad surface mesh, adjust the boundary layer thickness manually and generate a hybrid grid (tetramesh with boundary layer). You will also export the model for a CFD solver of your choice.
  - CFD-1600: Map CFD Results
    This exercise will cover how to take results from a CFD analysis and apply them to a new model for heat transfer or structural analysis. Using the linear interpolation tools within Engineering Solutions, results from a CFD analysis can be transferred to be loads in an analysis to be run in OptiStruct or any other supported solver.

- NVH Tutorials
NVH
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) is an important vehicle attribute that directly affects the customer experience.
Squeak and Rattle Director
Use Squeak and Rattle Director tool to create evaluation lines, evaluate them and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
Crash
The Crash application offers a tailored environment in HyperWorks that efficiently steers the Crash CAE specialist in CAE model building, starting from CAD geometry and finishing with a runnable solver deck in Radioss, LS-DYNA and PAM-CRASH 2G.
CFD
HyperWorks offers high quality tools for CFD applications enabling the engineer to perform modeling, optimization and post-processing tasks efficiently.
Drop Test
The Drop Test Manager is an automated solution that allows you to either simulate a single drop test or a choice of multiple iterations with the aim of finding the sensitivity of process variables like initial orientation and drop height in a typical drop test by controlling the run parameters and conditions with ease.
Aerospace
Essential utility tools developed using HyperWorks-Tcl.
Interface with External Products
Solver interfaces supported in Engineering Solutions.
Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
CAD Interfaces
Support provided by the CAD readers and writers.
Browsers
Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality in Engineering Solutions 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.
Panels
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Meshing
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Connectors
Create connections between parts of your model.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
Model Verification
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
Model Setup
Overview of how to build a finite element model.
Morphing
Morph the shape of your finite element model.
Optimization
Setup an Optimization in Engineering Solutions.
Conversion Between Solver Formats
Convert finite element models to another solver format.
XY Plotting
Study relationships between data vectors in results files.
Post-Processing Analysis
Learn how to use post-processing functions.
