Ruled

New HyperWorks Ruled workflow added for generating surfaces and solids by interpolating linearly or smoothly between given set of lines or surfaces respectively.

Drag

Drag lines and nodes into surfaces has been added with “Auto-trim” option. With this option, the newly created surface is trimmed at the intersection of another surface or elements.

Lines

• Polylines can be modified by adding or editing existing control points, or by editing start and end slopes.
• Extend lines tool added to extend existing lines to a target node, line or surface or by using distance

Split

Split context improvements include reviewing of split sections for solids which users can select or deselect to split at desired locations only. This helps in creating mapped solids for meshing. Following tools support the review options:

• Split solids with lines and bounding lines have “Extend trimmer” option added which allows user to review the split sections.
• Split solids with surfaces with extend trimmer ON also allows the users to review the split sections.
• Split solids with plane allow users to review the split sections.

Miscellaneous

Fixed robustness issues related to lines, imprint, and boolean tools.
