What's New
View new features for HyperMesh 2021.1.
Get Started
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Tutorials
Discover HyperMesh functionality with interactive tutorials.
Interface with External Products
Solver interfaces supported in HyperMesh.
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 HyperMesh 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.
- Elements
  Elements are FE idealizations for a portion of a physical part.
- Criteria and Parameter Settings
  Configure criteria and parameter settings.
- SPH Meshing
  Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), Finite Point Method (FPM) is a technique used to analyze bodies that do not have high cohesive forces among themselves and undergo large deformation, such as liquids and gases.
- 1D Meshing
  1D mesh that allows accurate testing of connectors, such as bolts, and similar rod-like or bar-like objects that can be modeled as a simple line for FEA purposes.
- 2D Meshing
  A surface mesh or "shell mesh" represents model parts that are relatively two-dimensional, such as sheet metal or a hollow plastic cowl or case.
- 3D Meshing
  Volume mesh or "solid meshing" uses three-dimensional elements to represent fully 3D objects, such as solid parts or sheets of material that have enough thickness and surface variety that solid meshing makes more sense than 2D shell meshing.
- Mesh Controls
  Mesh controls are used to automate and streamline the meshing process.
  - Mesh Control Types
    You can create mesh controls specific to the different meshing types and refinement zones.
    - BatchMesher Mesh Controls
      Model and local mesh controls for BatchMesh meshing.
    - Surface Meshing Mesh Controls
      Model, local, refinement, and feature mesh controls for surface meshing.
    - Adaptive Wrap Mesh Controls
      Model, local, proximity and leak detection mesh controls for adaptive wrap meshing.
    - Volume Meshing Mesh Controls
      Model, local and volume selector mesh controls for volume meshing.
    - Refinement Zone Mesh Controls
      Refinement zones are used to refine mesh with a defined size.
    - Regions
      Regions store information used to facilitate and automate modeling practices and processes.
  - Import/Export Mesh Controls
    Mesh controls can be saved and reused across different models by exporting them to a template file (*.xml) and then importing them into a new HyperMesh session from the Mesh Controls Browser.
  - Create and Edit Mesh Controls
    Mesh controls can be created for batch meshing, surface meshing, adaptive wrap meshing, volume meshing and refinement zones.
  - Enable Mesh Controls
    When a meshing job is submitted, enabled mesh controls are considered and used to automate the meshing process.
  - Create Mesh
    Once you are finished creating mesh controls, generate the mesh from the Mesh Controls Browser.
- Check Mesh Quality
  Evaluate the overall quality of a mesh, and resolve criteria violations.
- Edit Mesh
  Modify your mesh by detect holes, locating edges or features, refining mesh pattern, and so on.
- BatchMesher
  BatchMesher is a tool that performs geometry feature recognition, cleanup and automatic meshing in batch mode for given CAD files.
Connectors
