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.
These tools enable the creation of 1D elements from surface lines, organizing them into components. They also offset/orient
these elements based on the attached shell elements and calculating properties of these 1D elements from 3D solid
or shell FE element sections.
Use the Split 1D Elements tool to split a 1D element keeping proper section distribution along the newly generated
elements when the original beam property has a tapered section.

Beams From Lines
These tools enable the creation of 1D elements from surface lines, organizing them into components. They also offset/orient these elements based on the attached shell elements and calculating properties of these 1D elements from 3D solid or shell FE element sections.
Section Cut
Evaluate sectional properties from a section cut on both 1D and 2D elements.
Beam Review
Review the beam's neutral axis position and plot MoI and flexural stiffnesses.
Split 1D Elements
Use the Split 1D Elements tool to split a 1D element keeping proper section distribution along the newly generated elements when the original beam property has a tapered section.
