Quick Access
Quickly find and open the tools, panels and browsers that are available from the
menu bar pull-downs or from the Utility Browser.
Matrix Browser
Explore HyperMesh and HyperView data entities and export the entities to external files
for further analysis.
Orientation Review
Display/review and modify frequently used coordinate systems used in CAE analysis.
Transformation Tool
Translate, scale, reflect or rotate elements with multiple numbers of copies
including properties and loads attached to them.
Mapping CFD Loads
Reads a Tecplot Results file and creates Nodal results file for use with the Linear
Interpolation option.
Utility to split TECPLOT results files written by Fluent, STAR CD, CFD++, and so on into all the solution
components (present in the TECPLOT file) in a format compatible with HyperMesh Linear Interpolation reader. A typical TECPLOT results
contains several simulation results (for example Pressure, Temperature, Velocity
magnitude, and so on), one file will be created for each solution component, each file
name contains a sub-string identifying the solution component.
This function is accessible by clicking .
Linear interpolation - Pressure/Temperature
The result file generated by the Mapping CFD loads function can be used in these
panels to interpolate the result data on a mesh and define pressure or temperature
loads for a FE analysis.
Contour Loads
Generates a contour plot of a load collector (for example mapped pressure or
temperature values). Using Pressure - Signed in the Contour panel as data type
maintains the sign of the pressure values, for example in case the values are given
relative to a reference pressure.
Write Centroids Offset
Saves a text file containing lines with X Y Z values corresponding to the selected
elements’ centroid coordinates offset by the specified Centroid’s offset value in the
direction of the elements’ normals. Only 2D elements (trias/quads) are processed. This
text file is typically used by CFD solvers to save simulation values at the X Y Z
locations listed in each line.
Pyramids
Create pyramids on the outer quad faces of components/collectors containing
3D/volume elements, or on 2D quad elements in which case pyramids are created on the
side of the quads’ normals.
Centerline
Extract a centerline of a tube-style geometry model.
