Meshing
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
- Define Mesh Controls
  Edit the Parameter and Criteria files and define mesh controls using the Mesh Controls Browser.
- 1D Meshing
  1D mesh that allows accurate testing of connectors, such as bolts, and similar rod-like or bar-like objects that can be modeled as a simple line for FEA purposes.
  - 1D Elements
    Supported 1D elements.
  - Create 1D Mesh
    Use the 1D Mesh: Create tool to create 1D elements on lines or nodes.
  - Align 1D Elements
    Use the 1D Mesh: Align tool to reorder the N1 to N2 sequence of 1D element nodes.
  - Orient Bar2 Elements
    Use the 1D Mesh: Orient tool to define bar2 orientation vectors or orientation nodes.
  - Offset Bar2 Elements
    Use the 1D Mesh: Offset tool to manually set offsets or adjust beams on plates.
  - Release Degrees of Freedom
    Use the 1D Mesh: Pins tool to edit and release degrees of freedom.
  - Review Section Properties of 1D Elements
    Use the 1D Mesh: Review tool to plot area moments of inertia and stiffness.
  - Beam Sections
    Use the Beam Sections tool to create and edit standard beam sections, cross beam sections, and HyperBeam sketches.
- 2D Meshing
  A surface mesh or "shell mesh" represents model parts that are relatively two-dimensional, such as sheet metal or a hollow plastic cowl or case.
- 3D Meshing
  Volume mesh or "solid meshing" uses three-dimensional elements to represent fully 3D objects, such as solid parts or sheets of material that have enough thickness and surface variety that solid meshing makes more sense than 2D shell meshing.
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.
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

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

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.
