View new features for HyperWorks 2021.
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.
Learn how to create, open, import and save models.
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.
Also referred to as Postgres, PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system with emphasis on extensibility and standards compliance.
Use the Organize tool to move or copy entities into their proper destinations.
Automatically group selected parts into part sets based on comparison method and criteria selected.
Manage all of the IDs for the entities that you create, and define ID ranges for all of the entities in each Include file in relation to the full model in order to avoid ID duplication.
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
Properties define various physical and mathematical characteristics of parts such as sheet metal, extruded, and simplified representations of parts. The assignment and unassignment of properties have a specific set of rules based on the solver interface being used.
Materials definitions like properties quantitatively define physical characteristics. Many definitions exist like isotropic, anisotropic, and orthotropic and other material laws that represent steel, plastics, composites, etc. The assignment and unassignment of materials have a specific set of rules based on the solver interface being used.
Systems are available for assignment to properly control the orientation of entities like loads, transformations of parts, model has degrees of freedom for movement during simulation among many other applications.
Use the Auto Contacts tool to determine contact interfaces between selections of components or elements. Based on the user-specified options like proximity tolerance, surface creation method, main surface type, and secondary type, the tool generates contacts based on set segments or node and element combinations.
Create, review, and edit RBE2/RBE3 elements and MPC equations.
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
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.
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Use the marine tool set to streamline the creation of properties and 1D stiffener mesh using the info read from Marine CAD tools.
Use Squeak and Rattle Director tool set to create evaluation lines, evaluate them and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
HyperView is a complete environment to visualize, query, and process results data.
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many CAE file formats.
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
TextView math scripts reference vector data from HyperGraph windows to automate data processing and data summary.
TableView creates an Excel-like spreadsheet in HyperWorks.
Create and export Document and Presentation reports with one click and also define your own report structure.
