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.
HyperWorks offers high quality tools for CFD applications enabling the engineer to perform modeling, optimization and post-processing
tasks efficiently.
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.
Use the cfast converter tool to convert CFAST elements into CBAR/RBE3 (spiders). For thermoelastic analysis, the CFAST
has no thermal expansion coefficient. CBAR is thermoelastic compatible.
Use the Stuck Node Creation tool to create (double) RBE3 connection to "stick" nodes on QUAD or TRIA elements to make
the node displacements following the element ones.
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.
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.
In the steps below, you will create zero length elements and review.
This tool creates zero length elements (CELAS*, CGAP, CMASS* and CBush) from
disconnected nodes within a given tolerance. It also has the ability to disconnect
selected congruent nodes and create zero length elements.
From the menu bar, click Aerospace > Connections > Zero Length Elements.
Provide the correct tolerance to detect disconnected nodes within that
tolerance.
There is no need to select nodes manually, they are autodetected.
Activate the Quick Find Coincident Nodes option and
click Apply.
The nodes that are disconnected display.
Activate the Create Between Disconnected option and
click Apply.
0D elements are created.
Click Cancel to delete the created
elements that are not satisfactory.
