Meshing
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
- Define Mesh Controls
  Edit the Parameter and Criteria files and define mesh controls using the Mesh Controls Browser.
  - Edit Criteria and Parameter Files
    Set the appropriate parameters/options to obtain the desired mesh by editing the criteria and parameter files.
  - Mesh Controls
    Mesh controls are used to automate and streamline the meshing process.
- 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.
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 modeling.
Validate
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
Crash and Safety
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Airbag Solutions
Airbag solutions offer airbag folder utilities and exports a resulting airbag in a Radioss deck.
