HyperWorks CFD User's Guide

What's New
View new features for HyperWorks CFD 2020.1.
Get Started
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Tutorials
Discover HyperWorks CFD functionality with interactive tutorials.
Manage Files and Data
Learn how to create, open, import and save models.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize, and manage the CAE parts.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
- Manage FE Geometry
  Convert b-spline models to discrete models then clean up the geometry and mesh.
- Repair Geometry
  Review geometric errors in the model's surfaces and solids and fix any defects.
- Create Geometry
  Explore the tools used to create geometry.
- Edit Geometry
  Explore the tools used to edit geometry.
  - Split Surfaces and Solids
    Use the Split tools to create fixed points and split surfaces or solids using a variety of methods.
  - Stitch Surfaces and Suppress Edges
    Use the Stitch tool to stitch and unstitch adjacent or overlapping surfaces, and suppress or unsuppress edges.
  - Imprint Surfaces
    Use the Imprint tool to imprint points, nodes, lines, or surface onto target surfaces, thus creating new fixed points or edges.
  - Drag and Spin
    Use the Drag/Spin tool to push or pull surfaces and spin lines and surfaces in order to creates surfaces or solids.
    - Push or Pull Surfaces
      Create/modify solids by dragging selected surfaces.
    - Spin Surfaces, Nodes, or Lines
      Spin surfaces, nodes, or lines around a defined axis.
  - Combine, Subtract, Intersect Solids
    Use the Boolean tool to combine solids, subtract one solid from another, and find the intersection out of the solids.
  - Disconnect Solids
    Separate solids that are connected at a shared interface.
  - Find and Fill Cavities
    Use the Plug tool to find and fill cavities. The Plug tool can also be used to remove protrusions, holes, and complex features.
  - Scale Parts
    Use the Scale tool to resize geometry in your model.
  - Mirror Entities
    Use the Mirror tool to mirror/reflect selected entities across a symmetry plane.
  - Fuse 2D Shell Meshes
    Use the Fuse tool to connect discrete topology surfaces/solids/parts. The Fuse tool can be utilized to connect close proximity inputs by defining a threshold.
  - Merge Solids or Surfaces
    Merge two or more solids or surfaces. Solids are merged by removing shared faces while surfaces are merged by suppressing shared edges.
- Geometry Cleanup
  Clean up problematic areas on geometry.
Flow
Set up the simulation model, materials, domains, and boundaries.
Radiation
Define radiation conditions and create emissivity models.
Motion
Define direct, derived, and constrained mesh motion.
Meshing
Generate surface/volume mesh by defining mesh controls, or interactively create and edit 2D surface mesh.
Solution
Define output conditions, run the simulation, and view the results.
Manage Automation Templates
Use the Template Manager to define rule-based logic for groups, geometric operations, and setup and automate simulation processes.
