What's New
View new features for Engineering Solutions 2020.1.
Get Started
HyperWorks Engineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Crash, CFD, Drop Test and Aerospace using best-in-class solver technology.
Tutorials
Discover Engineering Solutions functionality with interactive 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
Currently supported solver interface versions.
Change Solver Interfaces
Load a different solver interface in Engineering Solutions.
Types of Interfacing
Engineering Solutions uses three types of external interfacing.
Abaqus Interface
Overview of the Abaqus Interface.
ANSYS Interface
Overview of the ANSYS interface.
LS-DYNA Interface
Overview of the LS-DYNA interface.
Nastran Interface
Overview of the Nastran interface.
PAM-CRASH 2G Interface
Overview of the PAM-CRASH 2G interface.
OptiStruct Interface
Overview of the OptiStruct interface.
Radioss Interface
Overview of the Radioss interface.
Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
CAD Interfaces
Support provided by the CAD readers and writers.
Browsers
Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality in Engineering Solutions by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
Panels
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
- Geometry Settings
  Overview of settings used when creating and editing geometry.
- Create, Edit, Query Geometry
  Create, edit, and query various geometric features, such as nodes, points, line, and surfaces.
  - Nodes
    Nodes are the most basic finite element entity. A node represents a physical position on the structure being modeled.
  - Points
    A point is a zero-dimensional geometric entity.
  - Lines
    A line represents a curve in space and is not attached to any surface or solid. A line is a one-dimensional geometric entity.
  - Surfaces
    A surface represents the geometry associated with a physical part. A surface is a two-dimensional geometric entity that may be used in automatic mesh generation.
  - Solids
    Solids are closed volume of surfaces that can take any shape. Solids are three-dimensional entities that can be used in automatic tetra and solid meshing.
  - Faces
    A face is a single Non-uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) and is the smallest area entity. It has a separate underlying mathematical definition, specified when it was created.
- Dimensioning
  Change the dimensions of existing geometry, thus changing the basic shape of solids and other enclosed volumes.
- Extract and Edit Midsurfaces
  Extract the midsurface of thin solids, and review and edit midsurface plates.
- Match Topology
  Fix gaps between stitched edges and vertices to make the actual geometry of the surfaces consistent with the model topology.
- Find Intersections and Penetrations
  Find intersections and penetrations between geometric surfaces and solids.
- Setup CAD Models with Metadata
  Use metadata generated as part of the CAD import process to setup CAE models.
Meshing
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Connectors
Create connections between parts of your model.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize, and manage the CAE parts.
Model Verification
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.
Model Setup
Overview of how to build a finite element model.
Morphing
Morph the shape of your finite element model.
Optimization
Setup an Optimization in Engineering Solutions.
Conversion Between Solver Formats
Convert finite element models to another solver format.
XY Plotting
Study relationships between data vectors in results files.
Post-Processing Analysis
Learn how to use post-processing functions.
