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.
Ply Geometry Smoothing provides functionality to smooth finite element ply shapes, usually generated from concept
level composite freesize optimization, and to generate geometry from finite element ply shapes.
The Material Orientation tool provides several methods of assigning material x directions for shell and solid elements,
and additionally z directions for solid elements.

PCOMP From CSV
PCOMP from CSV generates HyperMesh composite properties from data defined in a .csv file.
Ply Geometry Smoothing
Ply Geometry Smoothing provides functionality to smooth finite element ply shapes, usually generated from concept level composite freesize optimization, and to generate geometry from finite element ply shapes.
Ply Auto Rename
Ply Auto Rename changes ply names so that the assigned material, thickness and angle are appended.
FE Absorb Plies
FE Absorb Plies generates a ply-based model from zone-based properties.
Material Orientation
The Material Orientation tool provides several methods of assigning material x directions for shell and solid elements, and additionally z directions for solid elements.
Shell To Solid Conversion
The Shell To Solid Conversion tool provides functionality to generate solid elements and material orientations from a ply based shell model.
