Overview of how to build a finite element model.
Morph the shape of your finite element model.
HyperMorph utilizes exclusive HyperMesh morphing entities; domains, handles, morph constraints, morph volumes, shapes, and symmetries.
The Domains and Handles approach involves dividing the mesh into domains containing elements or nodes and placing handles at the corners of those domains.
Each global domain is associated with any number of global handles. Global handles will only influence the nodes contained within their associated global domains. Global domains and handles are best for making large scale shape changes to the model.
Each local domain is associated with any number of local handles. Local handles will only influence nodes contained within their associated local domains. Local handles are intended to be used to make small scale, parametric changes to the model.
Partitioning is a method of dividing 2D domains into smaller 2D domains at logical places, such as at the edges of surfaces associated with the mesh, or where the angle between elements exceeds a certain value, or where the domain changes from flat to curved.
Handle can be made dependent on one or more other handles, and then those handles can be made dependent on one or more other handles, and so on.
Shapes are collections of handle and/or node perturbations from the initial configuration of the FE mesh before the morph.
Morphing can be used to create shape variables for optimization.
The Morph Volume approach involves surrounding the mesh with one or more morph volumes, which are highly deformable six-sided prisms.
The Freehand approach involves morphing by moving the nodes directly without the need to create any HyperMesh morphing entities.
Space frames are models that have a sparse distribution of elements, such as a car body. Space frame models can generally have element counts in the hundreds of thousands, but their basic structure is rather simple.
Shell models are models that are made up primarily of shell elements, namely, quads, and trias. In general, a shell model represents many parts, each with numerous features such as holes and edges, and connected together using 1D elements such as bars and rigids.
Solid models are models that are made up of solid elements, namely, tetras, pentas, and hexas. In general, a solid model represents a single part with numerous features such as holes, edges, bosses, flanges and ribs.
