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.
Open animation files, measure various distances and angles between entities, and use the Results Browser to view the model structure and find, display, and edit entities.
Create and edit user-defined data type expressions, derived load cases, and systems. You can also plot a forming limit
diagram, generate streamlines, track entities during animation, and create and import/export sets of entities.
Query entities, create or edit free body diagrams, construct multiple curves and plots from a single result file, and
create and plot stress linearization.
The Vehicle Safety Tools preference file contains templates to plot IIHS front intrusion and IIHS side structure intrusion
plots for Radioss and LS-DYNA files.
The Compare Time History diagnostic tool consists of two pages. On the first page, the input data files, such as plot,
result, and FE files, are selected. Page two contains the data needed to compare the reference files and comparison
files.
Allows you to transform vector results from a time history or animation result files according to a coordinate system
defined by three nodes from the same result file.
The MPDB tool offers a complete automated post processing solution of the MPDB Frontal Compatibility Assessment load case,
for Radioss and LS-DYNA output files.
Based on the selected impactor type, a table is inserted in the Interactive Section
tab.
Hyperlinks in the table allow you to click on a table cell to display the data in the
GUI. The table content changes per the selected impactor type: Head, Upper Leg, or
Lower Leg.
Head Impactor
A table is inserted in the GUI with the target location, displacement
value, time, and HIC values.
From the Target Loc. column, click on the deck name (row) to
display the acceleration vs time plot, the section cut at the
target point in animation, and an image of the hood with all
points displaced and with the selected row shown in a text box
for HIC.
From the HIC column, click in a cell to plot and expand the
Acceleration Vs Time graph.
Right-click anywhere on the table to expand the active
contour.
Click Capture Image to capture an image
of the data displayed on the current page in your session.
Upper Leg Impactor
For the upper leg impactor type, the tool generates the Resultant Force
vs Time and Bending Moment vs Time graphs.
From the Target Loc. column, click on a deck name to display the
impactor position, Resultant Force vs Time, and Bending Moment
Vs Time graphs in the current HyperView session.
From the Sum of Impact Forces column, click the force value to
expand the Resultant Force Vs Time graph.
From the Bending Moment column, click the bending moment value
to expand the Bending Moment Vs Time graph.

Lower Leg Impactor
For the Lower Leg impactor type, the tool generates Knee Bending Angle
vs Time, Knee Shear Displacement vs Time, and Upper tibia acceleration
vs Time graphs.
From the Target Loc. column, click on a deck name to display the
impactor position, Knee Bending Angle Vs Time, Knee Shear
Displacement Vs Time and Upper tibia acceleration Vs Time in the
current HyperView session.
From the KBA column, click in a cell to expand the Knee Bending
Angle Vs Time graph.
From the KSD column, click in a cell to expand the Knee Shear
Displacement Vs Time graph.
From the UTA column, click in a cell to expand the Upper tibia
acceleration Vs Time graph.
