HyperWorksEngineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Crash, CFD, Drop Test and Aerospace using best-in-class solver
technology.
NVH analysis is a special form of physical analysis where the understanding of motion, energy and force transfer are the
primary means of root cause identification and problem solving.
Set parent modules with CMS SE representation in H3D format to be used for analysis in lieu of child module representations
when rolled up, or use the child representations when rolled down.
To manage any of the modules shown in the Assembly Browser, right-click on a module and select Edit Representations. This opens the Edit Module tab, and the Representation sub-tab is shown.
Create panel sets by selecting nodes/elements and/or existing node sets in the model file, that will automatically be
used in setting up Panel Participation diagnostic output in NVH analysis.
In a real-life application, necessary preparation work needs to be done to get the module representation files to a state
that is ready for assembly. Use the Prepare Module tool to accomplish this goal.
Edit and test NVH templates used for creating lumped parameter (LP) models, multiple instances of one model transformed
to a new geometric location, or loadcases.
An Analysis is a collection of module, connection and loadcase selections that completely specifies the assembly definition
for a particular simulation event.
Package all project data (Assembly .xml files, Representation files, LP Templates, Loadcase files, Job files and CSV templates) for transfer to others or for
archival.
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.
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.
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 Assembly Browser is an object-oriented modeling environment
where the fundamental entity is the module entity.
A module is a HyperMesh entity used to represent subsystems of
an assembly. It can have multiple representations and related metadata such as ID ranges,
tagpoints and states. Modules can be created from the Assembly Browser
by right-clicking and selecting Create Module. The Edit Module is
used to manage the various aspects of the module definition, which can be accessed from the
Assembly Browser by right-clicking and selecting Edit
Representations. A module-based assembly definition can be saved in an
.xml file.
To open a previously created assembly, you need to import an .xml file. This should be an assembly database file that
you exported from the NVH Director.
The Assembly Browser includes the following views:
Base View
This view displays every entity within the hierarchy, the display status and the Analysis
status.
File View
The File View display shows the Export status and the associated .xml file path for each module.
This view also includes the Preserve/Merge option.
Preserve
Saves an assembly .xml file along
with a set of nested subassembly files (similar to include files).
Merge
Saves the assembly file with all subassembly files merged into it.
Subassembly files can be specified by clicking the ‘-‘ icon in the XML file path column.
Navigate to the desired folder and specify a file name. Export of subassembly files can be
controlled by checking/unchecking of the checkbox in the Export column.
Note: The Save XML
option is enabled only in the File View to ensure that you are aware that the subassembly
files are over-written.
ID View
The ID View shows the summary of ID ranges assigned to modules with representation in the
assembly hierarchy. It also shows the assignment and conflict status in terms of
Intra-Module and Inter-Module flags. Intra-Module = Yes means IDs of all entities in the
module are within assigned range, or else Intra-Module = No. Inter-Module = Yes means there
are no ID conflicts across modules, or else Inter-Module = No.
Property View
The Property View shows the mass and damping of modules with representation in the assembly
hierarchy. Mass is also shown for the root module and parent modules.
Configuration View
The Configuration View shows the list of all of the modules and a list of configurations
with modules specific to that configuration.
