HyperWorksEngineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Crash, CFD, Drop Test and Aerospace using best-in-class solver
technology.
The tab area organizes browsers, Utility menus for the solver interfacing user profiles, and other functionality not shown in the panel area in different tabs.
Quickly find and open the tools, panels, and browsers that are available from the menu bar pull-downs or from the Utility Browser, as well as create solver cards.
The mouse attached to your system is integral to Engineering Solutions and can be used in almost every aspect of user input. Some operations require pressing a keyboard key in
addition to using the mouse.
The Plane and Vector selector is used in many panels, the Entity Editor or dialogs to define a plane or a vector (direction) to perform a certain function.
The calculator is designed using "reverse Polish" notation, meaning that you enter the value that you wish to apply
first, and then click the operation that you wish to perform.
Engineering Solutions requires the use of different types of data files, from its own database files which contain data on model geometry,
mesh, loads, boundary conditions, and so on, to property cards, main weld files and many more.
The Crash application offers a tailored environment in HyperWorks that efficiently steers the Crash CAE specialist in CAE model building, starting from CAD geometry and finishing with
a runnable solver deck in Radioss, LS-DYNA and PAM-CRASH 2G.
HyperWorks offers high quality tools for CFD applications enabling the engineer to perform modeling, optimization and post-processing
tasks efficiently.
The Drop Test Manager is an automated solution that allows you to either simulate a single drop test or a choice of
multiple iterations with the aim of finding the sensitivity of process variables like initial orientation and drop
height in a typical drop test by controlling the run parameters and conditions with ease.
Many essential utility tools using HyperWorks-Tcl have been developed over the years to support Aerospace customers. A few tools have been collected and upgraded to
be compatible with this release.
Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality in Engineering Solutions 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.
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.

The Color Palette is used in many panels, browsers, the Entity Editor, and dialogs to
specify the color of an entity.
This Color attribute is generally indicated by a small colored box next to the entity
name; clicking on this box opens a Color Palette from which you can select a new color
for that entity.
If you have multiple entities selected, you can click to automatically assign unique colors to
them.
Note: Auto color is not available from the Entity Editor.
You can also click to assign and save custom colors.
When specifying arguments within certain macro script commands, 64 individual colors are
supported. Each of these colors has a specific number assigned to it. You can use color
arguments to select colors for entities without having to use the Color Palette. Use the
charts shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3
to determine the integer value for a color argument.
