  - HM-4605: Define LS-DYNA Model and Load Data, Controls, and Output
    In this tutorial, you will: view LS-DYNA keywords in Engineering Solutions; understand part, material, and section creation and element organization; create sets and velocities; understand the relation of LS-DYNA entity type to Engineering Solutions element and load configurations; create nodal single point constraints and contacts with set segment ID; define output and termination; and export models to LS-DYNA formatted input files.
  - HM-4610: Use Curves, Beams, Rigid Bodies Joints, and Loads in LS-DYNA
    In this tutorial you will: create XY curves to define non-linear materials, constrained nodal rigid bodies, and joints; define beam elements with HyperBeam, *DEFORMABLE_TO_RIGID, *LOAD_BODY, *BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION_NODE; and use the Engineering Solutions Component Table tool to review the model's data.
  - HM-4615: Model Import, Airbags, Export Displayed, and Contacts with LS-DYNA
    In this tutorial you will define the following: *AIRBAG_WANG_NEFSKE for the airbag mesh geometry; initial velocity of 3 mm/ms in the negative x-direction for the head with *INITIAL_VELOCITY_GENERATION; a contact between the airbag and head with *ICONTACT_AUTOMATIC_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE; *CONTACT_AIRBAG_SINGLE_SURFACE for the airbag; and a contact between the plate and the airbag with *CONTACT_NODES_TO_SURFACE.
  - HM-4620: Create Rigid Walls, Model Data, Constraints, Cross Sections, and Output with LS-DYNA
    In this tutorial you will: create *PART_INERTIA for the vehicle mass component, velocity on all nodes except barrier nodes with *DEFINE_BOX and *INITIAL_VELOCITY, a contact between the crash boxes, the bumper, and the barrier with *CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_GENERAL, and a stationary rigid wall; use *DATABASE_HISTORY_NODE to specify nodes to be output; use *DATABASE_CROSS_SECTION_PLANE to specify the output of resultant forces; and make nodes a part of the mass rigid body with *CONSTRAINED_EXTRA_NODES.

- NVH Tutorials
NVH
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) is an important vehicle attribute that directly affects the customer experience.
Crash
The Crash application offers a tailored environment in HyperWorks that efficiently steers the Crash CAE specialist in CAE model building, starting from CAD geometry and finishing with a runnable solver deck in Radioss, LS-DYNA and PAM-CRASH 2G.
CFD
HyperWorks offers high quality tools for CFD applications enabling the engineer to perform modeling, optimization and post-processing tasks efficiently.
Drop Test
The Drop Test Manager is an automated solution that allows you to either simulate a single drop test or a choice of multiple iterations with the aim of finding the sensitivity of process variables like initial orientation and drop height in a typical drop test by controlling the run parameters and conditions with ease.
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.
Current Supported Versions
