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.
Create weld points at a predefined pitch distance so that the model build process can continue without the need to
wait for the published weld data from CAD. Autopitch is useful when working with elements, not geometry.
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.
Restriction: Available in Abaqus, Nastran, and OptiStruct.
Creates RBE2 (Nastran/OptiStruct)
or KINCOUP (Abaqus) elements for the head and body. The head
elements project and connect to the nodes of the adjoining shell elements which form the
hole and also the second row of nodes which form the washer layer. The connector
location can either be on the edge of the hole, center of the hole, midpoint in between
the two holes or on the second row of nodes which form the washer layer.
