Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Collectors and Collected Entities
Collectors are named organizational containers for collected entities. Collected entities are nameless entities which must reside within one, and only one, collector. Collected entities are mutually exclusive to a collector.

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

Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
- Collectors and Collected Entities
  Collectors are named organizational containers for collected entities. Collected entities are nameless entities which must reside within one, and only one, collector. Collected entities are mutually exclusive to a collector.
  - Include Files and SolverSubmodels
    - Include Files
      Include files enable solver decks to be split into separate files for organizational purposes, and provide a mechanism to include these files in a master solver beck, typically using an include statement.
    - SolverSubmodels
      SolverSubmodels allow you to manage ID offsets as well as define transformations on solver entities or Include files.
  - Assemblies
    Assemblies collect and organize sub-assemblies and components into hierarchical data structures which are intended to reflect the data structure of the product being modeled.
  - Components and Geometric/FE Entities
  - Load Collectors, Loads and Equations
  - Part Assemblies and Parts
  - System Collectors and Systems
  - Vector Collectors and Vectors
  - Beamsection Collectors and Beamsection
  - Bags
    Bags collect and organize entities.
  - Multibodies
    Multibodies collect and organize ellipsoids, multibody planes, and multibody joints and are typically used in multi-body analysis.
- Named Entities
  Entities which are given a name but are not collected or organized into containers.
- Morphing Entities
  Entities used for morphing the shape of FE model.
- Optimization Entities
  Entities used to set up optimization problems.
- Control Cards
  Control card entities create solver control cards such as results file I/O options, CPU and memory limits, and others.
- Undefined Entities
  Undefined entities are entities that will not be written to the solver deck.
- Solver Encryption Entities
  The encryption of solver entities is used to translate entity data into an undisclosed language.
- Element Property and Material Assignment Rules
  Element property and material assignment rules are based on the current user profile (solver interface).
- Supported Cards
  Supported cards organized by solver.
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.
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.
