HyperWorksEngineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Crash, CFD, Drop Test and Aerospace using best-in-class solver
technology.
The tab area organizes browsers, Utility menus for the solver interfacing user profiles, and other functionality not shown in the panel area in different tabs.
Quickly find and open the tools, panels, and browsers that are available from the menu bar pull-downs or from the Utility Browser, as well as create solver cards.
Engineering Solutions requires the use of different types of data files, from its own database files which contain data on model geometry,
mesh, loads, boundary conditions, and so on, to property cards, master weld files and many more.
Engineering Solutions uses the proprietary (.hm) format for database files which include geometry, meshing, connectors, loads and forces, materials, and everything
else that is necessary to pre-process a model prior to sending itto a solver.
In Engineering Solutions various file types can be imported into the selected client. The Import tab allows you to input external CAD line and surface data or finite element models. You can also import/merge
model files (.hm) into the current model session.
Import external CAD line and surface data or finite element models. You can also import/merge HyperMesh model files (.hm) into the current model session.
When an external input translator is used to import data, Engineering Solutions creates a file for messages in the directory in which the program was started.
The Solver Options button opens a dialog with the different options available. The contents of the dialog vary according
to the user profile you have selected.
In Engineering Solutions exporting various file types from the selected client to another format. The Export tab allows you to export a model to CAD line and surface data or finite element models.
Most FEA solvers allow you to organize the input deck into separate files and provide a mechanism to include (or refer)
these files in the master input deck.
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.
HyperWorks offers high quality tools for CFD applications enabling the engineer to perform modeling, optimization and post-processing
tasks efficiently.
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.
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.
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.
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.

LS-DYNA
The dialog presents options that allows you to determine whether to read these
keywords from the solver deck into Engineering Solutions.
INITIAL_STRESS_SHELL
*INITIAL_STRAIN_SHELL
By default they are automatically read for Engineering Solutions.
Nastran
When importing an FE model and the By HM Comment option is selected but no HM comment
cards exist, Nastran users can specify a ratio to be
considered when importing Engineering Solutions
entities. On import, Engineering Solutions will
calculate the ratio of the number of elements to the number of properties.
If the calculated ratio is less than the specified ratio, all the elements
are put into one component.
If the calculated ratio is greater than the specified ratio, one component
is created for each property.
OptiStruct
When importing an FE model and the By HM Comment option is selected but no HM comment
cards exist, OptiStruct users can specify a ratio to be
considered when importing Engineering Solutions
entities. On import, Engineering Solutions will
calculate the ratio of the number of elements to the number of properties.
If the calculated ratio is less than the specified ratio, all the elements
are put into one component.
If the calculated ratio is greater than the specified ratio, one component
is created for each property.
