What's New
View new features for HyperWorks 2021.
Get Started
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Video Tutorials
Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.
Manage Files and Data
Learn how to create, open, import and save models.
Sessions and Report Templates
Set up your sessions in HyperWorks and create report templates.
Interface with External Products
Solver interfaces supported in HyperWorks.
Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize, and manage the CAE parts.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Meshing
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Elements
Create and edit 0D/1D entities and edit 2D elements.
Morph
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.
Connectors
Create connections between parts of your model.
- Open the Connector Browser
  Use the Connector Browser to view and modify connectors in the current model.
- Define Connector Controls
  Use the Control Manager to create and edit the various types of controls that will be used later when realizing connectors.
- Create and Realize Connectors
  Use the tools in the Create tool set to create connectors, assign controls, and realize.
- Realizations
  View details for different types of realizations.
  - Point Connector Realization Types
    A list of realization types that can be specified for point connectors.
  - Fastener Connector Realization Types
    A list of realization types that can be specified for fastener connectors.
  - Line Connector Realization Types
    A list of realization types that can be specified for line connectors.
  - Area Connector Realization Types
    A list of realization types that can be specified for area connectors.
- FE Configuration File
  The FE configuration file (feconfig.cfg) is used to define custom welds such as ACM (Area Contact Method) and other special types.
- Attachments and Connectors
  Attachments are an entity to facilitate the ease of joining subsystems.
- Autopitch
  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.
Composites
HyperMesh composites modelings.
Crash and Safety
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Design Space
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.
Design Explorer
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Aerospace
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.
Aeroelasticity
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Marine
Use the marine tool set to streamline the creation of properties and 1D stiffener mesh using the info read from Marine CAD tools.
Squeak and Rattle Director
Use Squeak and Rattle Director tool set to create evaluation lines, evaluate them and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
Panels
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Results Data
HyperView is a complete environment to visualize, query, and process results data.
Plot Data
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many CAE file formats.
Multibody Modeling
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
Media Files
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
Text Files
TextView math scripts reference vector data from HyperGraph windows to automate data processing and data summary.
Tabulate Results
TableView creates an Excel-like spreadsheet in HyperWorks.
Publishing and Reporting
Create and export Document and Presentation reports with one click and also define your own report structure.
