HyperWorks Engineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Crash, CFD, Drop Test and Aerospace using best-in-class solver technology.
Discover Engineering Solutions functionality with interactive tutorials.
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) is an important vehicle attribute that directly affects the customer experience.
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.
The Crash menu bar reflects the sequence of operations that you will most likely be following during the building of the Crash model.
The Crash user profile has three pages of panels namely Geom, Mesh and Setup.
Toolbars provide shortcuts to various functionalities that are commonly used in crash modeling for corresponding solvers.
The Model menu is categorized into sections, each focusing on particular aspects/constituents of the crash model building.
Focuses on various connecting options to connect components of the crash model to complete the assembly.
Focuses on various options to manage the mass of individual components as well as complete crash model assembly.
Lists options to setup various boundary conditions to the model.
Lists options for crash safety modeling.
Create and articulate a kinematic mechanism based on FE mesh using the Mechanism Browser.
Position a dummy model using the Dummy Browser.
Export an input deck, for the appropriate solver, in order to simulate the deformation of the seat under the dummy. The simulation result files can be imported to update the initial FE model and remove the intersections and penetrations between the dummy and the seat.
Use the Seatbelt Browser to create a complete seatbelt system.
Create a complete seatbelt system, with meshed fabric components and solver-related seatbelt features.
Create a seatbelt mesh.
Auto-extraction from the FE model allows for a quick recovery of the seatbelt system without having to recreate the seatbelt.
Create solver seatbelt features using Control Points.
Create solver cross-sections on the seatbelt mesh.
Use the Link Dummy Mechanism to update dummy and seat motion.
Generates a deck for the simulation of the head impact on an instrument panel.
The Pedestrian Impact tool automates the vehicle marking, impactors positioning and the export of solver decks with minimal input, therefore reducing the full process lead time.
Lists shortcuts to macros available that complement the panel options in building the crash model.
Lists various options to define animation and time history outputs in the model for post-processing. Accordingly, they are broadly classified into three sections as Animation, Time History and Checks.
Provides functions to help you morph the shape of a finite element model.
The Vehicle Safety Tools (VST) are a collection of over 200 macros, Templex functions and external functions for use by a vehicle safety engineer.
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.
