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.
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
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.
The HyperLaminate menu bar provides access to menus that allow you to manage files, edit materials, laminates, HLS loadcases and design variables, change views, and access online help.
The HyperLaminate toolbar contains tools that allow you to generate new materials, laminates, HLS loadcases or design variables, and to cut, copy, paste, and delete entries in text boxes.
The Laminate Browser provides a vertical tree view of the materials, laminates, and HLS loadcases in your model.
The HyperLaminate Solver (HLS) uses classical laminated plate theory to analyze composite laminates subject to various in-plane and thermal loading conditions.
The Define/Edit Pane, the central pane of the HyperLaminate window, allows you to edit the definition of the selected entity.
The Review/Results pane allows you to review the information pertaining to the selected entity as well as displaying HyperLaminate Solver results for laminates.

Methods to create and edit design variables in HyperLaminate.
Import geometry into your current HyperMesh session, and set advanced import options.
All entities in a HyperMesh database are stored in collectors. Based on the assigned template, each collector may use a dictionary or card image to define the attributes assigned to the collector. The definitions contained in the dictionaries or card image are used to translate models to external analysis codes.
If geometry is not available from a CAD system, you can create or edit geometry in HyperMesh.
A temporary node list retains nodes that are not attached to an element, protecting them from automatic removal by the database management.
Overview of how to select surfaces in wireframe and shaded mode.
Each surface contains one or more faces. It is usually preferable to combine multiple faces into one surface entity before you use the meshing tools.
Nodes and elements can be associated to surfaces.
Prepare surface geometry for meshing.
The final step in the model building process is to apply constraints and forces and to create or assign coordinate systems.
Systems are referred to as coordinate systems and may be rectangular, cylindrical, or spherical.
Control cards allow you to add input and output parameters to a model, including location and names of the input, output and scratch files; the type of run (analysis, check or restart); overall running of the analysis or optimization; and type, format and frequency of the output.
Boundary Conditions define limits as well as loads on geometry and mesh.
Morph the shape of your finite element model.
Setup an Optimization in Engineering Solutions.
Convert finite element models to another solver format.
Study relationships between data vectors in results files.
Learn how to use post-processing functions.
