View new features for Engineering Solutions 2020.1.
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.
Learn the basics of working with browsers.
Use the Assembly Browser to manage parts and modules during the assembly building process.
Use the Connector Browser to view and modify connectors in the current model.
The Link Entity Browser displays all of the links that are connected using the connectors in the model.
The middle section of the Connector Browser contains a tree view of all the connections contained in the model, and has its own set of tools similar to the ones found in the Link Entity Browser.
Use this tool set to control the display of connectors.
In the Browser Configuration dialog you can select which columns to display in the browser, and change the way special tools, such as find twin connectors, operate.
Use the Connector Entity Editor to quickly view and modify attributes assigned to connector(s).
Use the query builder to find and filter entities by building advanced filters for attributes listed in browser columns.
This tool set, located at the bottom of the Connector Browser, provides tools for output of a Master Connectors File, opening specific connector-related Engineering Solutions panels, or utilize specialized visualization options.
A link is a reference to a separate entity. One or more links are added to a connector. The entities to which the links refer are connected during realization.
Convert connectors of one specific style into a different style, for example a spot connector into a bolt connector using the Convert option.
Combine aligned single point connectors into line connectors or combine several aligned seam line connectors into larger one(s) using the Combine option.
Split spot or bolt line connectors into individual single point connectors using the Split option.
Place a connector in-between the center of the two farthest defined links or its source position using the Position option.
Add links (component, assembly, surface, element, tag, node) at a time to one or more connectors using the Add Link option.
Remove links from one or more connectors at a time.
Update the attributes associated with a link, such as reconnection rule, link references, and link state.
Existing connector links can be converted to one of the following link types: Part, Comp, or Prop. Connector link conversion requests a clear 1:1 relation between a component and a property, otherwise the conversion is not unique and will not be performed.
Locate and isolate connectors that connect the selected entities/part(s) in the Link Entity Browser using the Find option.
The find parts feature in the Connector Browser context menu finds the entities/part(s) connected by specific connector(s), and isolates them in the graphics area.
Use the Contact Browser to create, review and modify contact interfaces and surfaces in a model.
The Entity Editor enables you to quickly view and edit entities in a model and correctly setup solver information.
Use the Entity State Browser to set various states for entities in a model.
Use the Loadsteps Browser to create, manage and display loadsteps (sub-cases) and the associated control cards.
In the Mask Browser, set the mask/unmask state for entities at the entity configuration level.
Use the Mass Trimming tool to create, define and realize mass entities.
Use the Matrix Browser to explore the HyperMesh and HyperView data entities and export the entities to external files for further analysis.
Use the Model Browser to view the model structure while providing full find, display and editing control of entities.
Check the solver validity of the model, identify modeling issues, and fix modeling issues in an automatic or manual way.
Use the Part Browser to create, organize and manage the CAE part structure/hierarchy.
The Reference Browser enables you to quickly understand complex relationships between different entities that constitute the model.
The Solver Browser provides a solver centric view of the model structure in a flat, listed tree structure.
Create, organize and manage the CAE subsystem level models using any entities.
The Utility menu contains options that allow you to customize the standard interface to include function buttons, radio options, and text that have Engineering Solutions-supplied and user-defined macros associated with them.
Use the Visualization controls to change many of the visual states in Engineering Solutions and HyperView.
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.
Overview of how to build a finite element model.
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.
