Get Started
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Video Tutorials
Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.
Manage Files and Data
Create, open, import, and save models.
Sessions and Report Templates
Set up sessions and create report templates.
Interface with External Products
Solver interfaces supported in HyperWorks.
Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
- Manage Parts
- Manage Subsystems
- PostgreSQL Installation and Configuration
  Also referred to as Postgres, PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system with emphasis on extensibility and standards compliance.
- Section Library
  Use the automotive section library for rapid concept development in the early phases of the vehicle design process.
- Organize Entities
  Use the Organize tool to move or copy entities into their proper destinations.
- Match Parts
  Automatically group selected parts into part sets based on comparison method and criteria selected.
- ID-Management
  Manage all of the IDs for the entities that you create, and define ID ranges for all of the entities in each Include file in relation to the full model in order to avoid ID duplication.
- Features
  Detect, review, and manage geometric holes, fillets, flanges, and logos.
- Mechanism Browser
  Create and articulate a kinematic mechanism based on FE mesh using the Mechanism Browser.
  - Mechanism Browser
    Overview of the Mechanism Browser.
  - Entity Editor
    The Entity Editor is used to assign, modify and quickly view the attributes defined inside Mechanism Browser entities.
  - Context Menu
  - Supported Entities
  - Supported Keywords Exported in Solver Deck
  - Create a Mechanism
    Create a mechanism for Abaqus, OptiStruct, and Nastran profiles.
  - Modify the Position of Mechanisms
  - Modify the Position of Joints
- 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.
- Assign Properties, Materials, and Systems
  Define physical and mathematical characteristics of parts.
- Generate Contacts Automatically
  Use the Auto Contacts tool to determine contact interfaces between selections of components or elements. Based on the user-specified options like proximity tolerance, surface creation method, main surface type, and secondary type, the tool generates contacts based on set segments or node and element combinations.
- RBE2s, RBE3s, and MPCs
  Create, review, and edit RBE2/RBE3 elements and MPC equations.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Meshing
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Elements
Create and edit 0D/1D entities and edit 2D elements.
Morph
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.
Connectors
Create connections between parts of your model.
Composites
HyperMesh composites modelings.
Crash and Safety
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Airbag Solutions

Design Space
Workflow to support topology optimization model build and setup.
Design Explorer
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Aerospace
Essential utility tools developed using HyperWorks-Tcl.
Aeroelasticity
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Certification
Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.
Marine

Multibody Modeling
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
Media Files
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
Text Files
TextView math scripts reference vector data from HyperGraph windows to automate data processing and data summary.
Tabulate Results
TableView creates an Excel-like spreadsheet in HyperWorks.
