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.
This tool in HyperMesh allows you to launch HyperView and process aeroelasticity results.
Nastran results for Aeroelastic solution types SOL 144, 145,
and 146 are supported through xdb only. For this task, it is suggested to split the window
with the two window option, and have a HyperMesh session in one
window and a HyperView session in another window as shown
below.
The results to be evaluated are nodal displacements in the form of contour and animation.
No other result types need to be evaluated.
Note: In HyperView,
import the model data from xdb only. Aero component import in HyperView is not supported at this time.
