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 management of Free Body Diagrams (FBD) sections created in
HyperView can be handled by means of their storage and retrieval
through an ASCII file statement, allowing you to manipulate the definition of such items
directly in the input/output process.
Once you have defined FBD sections in HyperView, you can invoke the Export dialog (shown below), where you
can select which sections are to be exported.
From the Aerospace menu, select FBD > Export FBD Sections.
The export formats supported are:
XML
CSV
Once the section file has been created, it can be shared and re-used on models
having the same topology or it can be modified to change the original section
definition.
The Import option works accordingly supporting the same input file
definition (.csv, .xml).
