Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Explore the tools used to create geometry.
Learn about creating, editing, and extracting points and nodes.
Create and edit circles and rectangles with the Shapes tool.
A line represents a curve in space and is not attached to any surface or solid. A line is a one-dimensional geometric entity.
Use the Create Lines tool to draw free lines for geometry construction and to generate meaningful snap locations to be used by other tools.
Use the Create Polylines tool to draw polylines for geometry construction and to generate meaningful snap locations to be used by other tools.
Use the Combine Lines tool to create a new continuous line segment between two existing lines, resulting in a single seamless line.
Use the Extend Lines tool to make an existing line longer, following the general vector and/or curvature of the input line. You can specify the distance as a numeric value, or extend the line to a specified node, line, surface, or point.
A surface represents the geometry associated with a physical part. A surface is a two-dimensional geometric entity that may be used in automatic mesh generation.
Solids are closed volume of surfaces that can take any shape. Solids are three-dimensional entities that can be used in automatic tetra and solid meshing.
Use the Ruled tools to create surfaces/solids by interpolating lines and surfaces either linearly or smoothly.
A face is a single Non-uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) and is the smallest area entity. It has a separate underlying mathematical definition, specified when it was created.
Use the Drag/Spin tool to drag and spin lines, surfaces, and nodes in order to create surfaces or solids.
Use the Midlines tool to create midlines from existing lines, surface edges, or tube solids.
Extract the midsurface of thin solids, and review and edit midsurface plates.
Explore the tools used to edit geometry.
Clean up problematic areas on geometry.
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Create and edit 0D/1D entities and edit 2D elements.
