HyperWorksEngineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Crash, CFD, Drop Test and Aerospace using best-in-class solver
technology.
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.
Engineering Solutions has a centralized plate and shell mesh generation tool called the Automeshing Secondary panel. Most of the element creation
panels use this module, which supplies as much automated assistance as possible.
Use the Generate 2D BL Mesh utility to generate 2D meshes with or without boundary layers on planar or non-planar sections
defined by sets/groups of edges defining closed loops.
Mesh quality can be checked using the Check Elems panel. The Check Elems panel allows you to verify the basic quality
of your elements and to verify the geometric qualities of those elements.
The Adaptive Wrapper is a useful utility to get a clean, water tight shell mesh out of 2D mesh containing several intersecting
parts and small gaps which do not need to be modeled.
This section describes the basic ideas of Engineering Solutions's morphing technology and how it can be combined with HyperStudy and a CFD solver to perform automated design or optimization studies.
HyperView is a powerful CFD post-processor which can import result data from all major CFD solvers (AcuSolve, CFD++, Fluent, and so on) via the EnSight format.
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.

Open this dialog by clicking Auto in the 2D Boundary Layer Mesh
dialog.
Use Minimum (Core/Boundary-Layer) thickness ratio to specify the ratio between boundary
layer thickness and tetra core. This value must be more than zero, but decimal values are
accepted. The higher this value, the more the boundary layer elements will be compressed to
keep the core open.
Use BL thickness at corners: '0.1,1'Thinner, '1,10'Thicker to define the boundary layer
behavior in corners. The smaller this value is, the smaller the thickness of the boundary
layer at corners will be relative to the nominal total boundary layer thickness. The image
below shows the effects on the same model using values of one and five.
The Generate BL Thickness ratio button generates the BL thickness scaling factors to be
utilized in the BL generation step.
If you wish to display contours of the Boundary Layers' Thickness Ratio, click the Contour
of BL Thickness ratio button.
