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.
Use the Tracing tool to trace system, component, and node entities during animation.
Line tracing for metal forming can also be performed by
selecting nodes directly on the model or by importing a trimmed line definition. When an
object is traced, an outline of the object is left behind at certain intervals along the path
of motion.
