Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality and create, edit, and apply
shapes for subsequent design optimization studies.
The Design Space environment is dedicated to topology optimization model build and setup. It facilitates rapid model creation by generating
the voxel design space for a number of different use cases.
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.
Using the Static Event tool, you can setup a linear static
loadcase to solve and understand Squeak and Rattle issues.
From Setup group, select Static
Event from selection list.
A guide bar will appear.
Select node(s) where the load should be applied to in the graphics area.
Use the Load Type drop down menu on the microdialog to
select the required load type.
Available load types are-
D- Displacement
A- Acceleration
F- Force
P- Pressure
Select Load Direction(s).
Enter the load amplitude.
Click .
This creates a Static event loadcase at the selected
node and all the relevant cards are created and listed in the model browser
automatically.

Description of Static loadcase options.
Below are the various options available for static loadcase setup.
Microdialog
Load Type
Displacement
Acceleration
Force
Pressure
Entity Type
Displacement, Acceleration and Force can be applied on node(s).
Pressure can be applied on element(s).
Amplitude
Amplitude of the selected load type.
Load Direction(s)
X
Y
Z
Note: When more than one load direction is created at the same time,
SnRD will automatically create one
Loadcase for each direction and one with all directions combined.
Example: Applying a load on one node in three directions at the same
time will create 4 loadcases.
