Engineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Crash, CFD, Drop Test and Aerospace using best-in-class solver technology.
Discover Engineering Solutions functionality with interactive tutorials.
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) is an important vehicle attribute that directly affects the customer experience.
Use Squeak and Rattle Director tool to create evaluation lines, evaluate them and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
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.
Engineering Solutions offers a wide range of tools enabling you to perform CFD modeling in an efficient manner.
This section describes the basic ideas of Engineering Solutions's morphing technology and how it can be combined with HyperStudy and a CFD solver to perform automated design or optimization studies.
The morphing capabilities of Engineering Solutions enable you to generate new designs based on an existing mesh, in a simple and quick manner, and can be accessed via the Morphing option in the menu bar of the CFD user profile.
How mesh deformation propagates through adjacent morph volumes can be defined by setting different types of tangencies.
By default Engineering Solutions generates morph volumes with a rectangular cross section.
Constraints can be used to restrict the movement of nodes during the morphing process.
During morphing the element quality can be monitored by activating the auto quality check function, selecting an element criteria and defining a threshold.

HyperStudy enables you to perform automated design or optimization studies for CFD applications.
HyperView is a powerful CFD post-processor which can import result data from all major CFD solvers (AcuSolve, CFD++, Fluent, and so on) via the EnSight format.
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.
Essential utility tools developed using HyperWorks-Tcl.
Solver interfaces supported in Engineering Solutions.
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Support provided by the CAD readers and writers.
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 contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Create connections between parts of your model.
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
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.
