Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
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.
Use the Hex tool to create and edit hex meshes.

Set up your sessions in HyperWorks and create report templates.
Solver interfaces supported in HyperWorks.
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Create, organize, and manage the CAE parts.
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Edit the Parameter and Criteria files and define mesh controls using the Mesh Controls Browser.
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.
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.
Supported 3D elements.
Use the Tetra tool to fill an enclosed volume with first order or second order tetrahedral elements.
You can select multiple solids for solid map meshing provided that each individual solid is in fact mappable. However, the meshing engine cannot always mesh every selected solid in a single operation, even when all the selected solids display as mappable.
Before you can successfully solid mesh a model, ensure that the solids have been partitioned so that they are either one directional or three directional mappable.
Create a new 3D mesh from a single, mappable solid volume.
Create a new 3D mesh from multiple, mappable solids.
Use the Solid Map tool to create and edit a mesh of solid elements in a solid geometric volume.
Acoustic Cavity meshing generates a fluid volume mesh used to calculate the acoustic modes (or standing waves) inside the air spaces of a vehicle or similarly enclosed structural model.
Create and edit 0D/1D entities and edit 2D elements.
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 connections between parts of your model.
HyperMesh composites modelings.
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
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.
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
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.
