HM-4080: Kinematic Draping
In this tutorial you will work with Kinematic Draping
Exercise 1: Kinematic Draping for a Woven Ply Modeled with Two UDs
A dome is covered by a fabric. The fabric is idealized with two uni-directional plies. This method allows the material to be a simple, orthotropic, uni-directional ply level model. If the ply was modeled as a single woven ply, the material model would be anisotropic and vary spatially as the angle between the warp and weft directions changed. Nominal thickness of the uni-directional plies is 0.5 * woven thickness.

  - HM-4000: Set Up Load Conditions
    In this tutorial, you will gain an understanding of the basic concepts for creating a solver input file by using a template. More specifically, you will learn how to define loading conditions on a model, specify solver specific controls, and submit an input file to a solver from HyperMesh.
  - HM-4010: Format Model for Analysis
    The purpose of using a finite element (FE) pre-processor is to create a model that can be run by a solver. HyperMesh interfaces with many FE solvers and all of them have unique input file formats. HyperMesh has a unique template(s) for each solver it supports. A template contains solver specific formatting instructions, which HyperMesh uses to create an input file for that solver.
  - HM-4020: Assign Properties Using HyperBeam
    In FEA, beams are typically modeled as 1D elements. In this tutorial you will become familiar with the modeling of beam sections for 1D elements (beam, bar, and rod) in HyperMesh. The focus is on obtaining and assigning beam-section properties, not on creating beam elements themselves.
  - HM-4030: Define Composites
    In this tutorial, you will learn the modeling procedure for typical composite model builds.
  - HM-4040: Work with Loads on Geometry
    In this tutorial, you will experiment with the export of the loads applied to geometry entities. Therefore, you will need to have a template loaded. In this step, load the OptiStruct user profile and retrieve the c-channel model. By loading the OptiStruct user profile, the template will be automatically loaded.
  - HM-4060: Work with Include Files
    Many FEA solvers allow you to organize your input deck into separate files, and provide a mechanism to read all files linked to a single input deck. This capability is commonly known as "includes."
  - HM-4070: OptiView
    In this tutorial you will work with OptiView.
