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.
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.
Currently supported solver interface versions.
Load a different solver interface in Engineering Solutions.
Engineering Solutions uses three types of external interfacing.
Overview of the Abaqus Interface.
Overview of the ANSYS interface.
Overview of the LS-DYNA interface.
Overview of the Nastran interface.
Overview of the PAM-CRASH 2G interface.
Overview of the OptiStruct interface.
Overview of the Radioss interface.
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Support provided by the CAD readers and writers.
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 contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Elements are FE idealizations for a portion of a physical part.
Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), Finite Point Method (FPM) is a technique used to analyze bodies that do not have high cohesive forces among themselves and undergo large deformation, such as liquids and gases.
1D mesh that allows accurate testing of connectors, such as bolts, and similar rod-like or bar-like objects that can be modeled as a simple line for FEA purposes.
A surface mesh or "shell mesh" represents model parts that are relatively two-dimensional, such as sheet metal or a hollow plastic cowl or case.
Volume mesh or "solid meshing" uses three-dimensional elements to represent fully 3D objects, such as solid parts or sheets of material that have enough thickness and surface variety that solid meshing makes more sense than 2D shell meshing.
Mesh controls are used to automate and streamline the meshing process.
After you build your model, calculate the quality of elements in a mesh.
The Element Quality view allows you to investigate each specific element criteria, view a breakdown of all failed and worst elements, resolve all criteria violations at one time, and evaluate the over all quality of a mesh.
After you build your model, check the quality of the elements in the model.
Create an HTML mesh quality report for the current model or for multiple models.
The Thickness view allows you to investigate the shell thicknesses in your model.
Validate the input surface mesh before performing volume mesh generation using the Boundary Shell Checker.
The Solid Mesh Optimization tool can be used to improve the quality of a tetra, hexas, and second order meshes with respect to several element criteria.
Penetration is defined as the overlap of the material thickness of shell elements, while intersection is defined as elements that actually pass completely through one another.
Modify your mesh by detect holes, locating edges or features, refining mesh pattern, and so on.
Create connections between parts of your model.
Create, organize, and manage the CAE 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.
