Engineering Solutions
  • What's New

    View new features for Engineering Solutions 2021.1.

  • Get Started

    Engineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Crash, CFD, Drop Test and Aerospace using best-in-class solver technology.

  • Tutorials

    Discover Engineering Solutions functionality with interactive 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.

    • CAD Import

      • CAD Export Message Files

        When a CAD file is exported from Engineering Solutions, a .msg file is created (or appended to) in the current working directory.

    • CAD Update

      In this section you will learn about updating CAD metadata and parameters.

  • 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.
